Learning the world

Dear one,

Learning a new language consists in not only to learn the

idiom itself but to discover a whole and completely new world.

Studying ESL (English as a Second Language) will surely help you

exploring a wonderful part of life. Improving our communication

means not only to learn a few words, it’s much more than that. We

need to know it deeply, we need to feel it, and we need to live it.

You are, from this moment on, becoming part of a different

culture, with different histories, with different points of view. You

are, now, becoming a different person. And difference, when you

learn how to deal with, means richness. From now on open your

mind as possible as you can, and get ready for one of the most

amazing trips in your life.

Be welcome to your world!

My best wishes,

Teacher Ingrid

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breathScared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agree politelyI guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking pointI stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got upAlready brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got upGet ready, ‘cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire'Cause I am a champion

And you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion‘Cause I am a champion

And you're gonna hear me roarOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterflyStinging like a bee, I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got upAlready brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got upGet ready, 'cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire'Cause I am a champion,

And you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion'Cause I am a champion

And you're gonna hear me roarOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You're gonna hear me roarOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or
