Si, tienes razon. son importantes temas todos y espero tratarlos en el futuro. Para saber mas sobre el uso de “por” puedes echar un vistazo a mi post “what is for for”.

saludos y gracias por el comentario! Z

te paso un par de dudas que tal vez puedan ser interesantes para tratarlas en tu blog, (si ya has hablado de ellas en algún post y no me he dado cuenta, sólo indícame dónde, gracias)…

- diferencia entre los adjetivos acabados en -ing y -ed, por ejemplo: “bored” y “boring”.

- Cuándo decir: “not” (terminado en “t”), o simplemente “no” (sin “t”).

- El “por” y el “para”, cuándo usar “for” o “to”.

thanks for you attention…

For learning the phonetic alphabet I’d recommend this website from the BBC:

I’d also recommend learning the symbols by looking up words that you already know how to pronounce, and then just building up your knowledge of the symbols little by little.

In terms of having your students not read words as they would in Spanish, I think it’s very important to give more emphasis to listening than to reading. The ideal thing would be to ALWAYS listen to a recording of the things you read, or to use transcripts of audio as reading material, and to listen to the original audio as well. The “real” word is the spoken form, and the written form is just a visual representation of that, and often a very misleading one!

I hope that helps! See you. Zach
