Text and Reading

Hey Guys

Today I´m adding a new type of classes on the blog which will work with text interpretation and reading. Calm down, I´m not stopping the videos or the songs, just increasing the number of different opportunities to study. In order to make it more attractive I´ll work with news and current topics.
Today I´ll start with something which recently happened in the US.
