However, in the future I would like to take up on a postgraduate course on Multilingualism and Language Planning because I believe the future of our nation will need people prepared to do research on the topic of how the establishment will allow languages to coexist or will make them extinguish. Language Pla...

In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, w...

The Best Mistake I have Ever Made. - Comments: leave a comment on your teaxcher's post + 3 on your classmates' posts. - Word Count for post 4: 200 words  I really like the topic you’ve proposed for this post because it’ll allow us to get to know each other more! Having said so, I’ll tell you a story of a very silly and impulsive decision I made many years ago and that, looking at it from now, was in the end a good decision. It was the year 2010, the earthquake and its massive natural and social aftershock had taken place during the first part of the year and being already mid December we were, to be honest, a bit exhausted of all the circumstances of the famous and memorable 2010. Back then, I was living in Los Angeles (as you may already know) and I was working in a couple of universities teaching courses related to my area of expertise; One of the courses I was teaching was a course on Translation Studies for the Translation programme of a well known unive...

I have recently adopted Dulce at an “Adoption Session” sponsored by Garras y Patas Foundation, there I found Dulce, a very beautiful, two-year-old, female dog. She is a mixed dog and before we came across with each other, she had been given for adoption because her previous owner had got very ill and could no longer take care of her. Luckily, she didn’t spent too much time waiting for someone to take care her! She is an old dog but paradoxically full of energy. She was not trained as a puppy and despite she has some bad ...

Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colourful country. Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but I don't worry over it! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is com...
