Today, my students did their 1st test of the course... I'm really pleased with them. They had very good scores :-))

It makes me feel that all the effort and hard work I've been having are worthwhile! Let us see how the 2nd part goes...

I'll let you know.

Bye for now!

Just a Thought

I would like to leave here just a small thought. A very good one in times of trouble.

Winston Churchill once said "Sucess is not final, failure is not fatal; It is the courage to continue that matters!"

Think about it for a while. Bye.

Hi there, everybody!

I'm trying this out. Let us see how I go!

This is something I'm doing with my English classes. Right now I have two of them, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
My students are really thrilled with this project. They want to let people know them and know what they actually do here in the Portuguese navy!
And, who knows, meet students from all around the world...

Let us set sail now!
