A few last videos to top off

Hi guys,

Some of you have been asking for links to the videos we saw in class  these last few days, so here you go. We didn't see all the videos in every class, so for sure there's something interesting for you to pick.

Derek Sivers' How to Start a Movement can be enjoyed by anyone (language is accessible and it runs for less than 5 minutes)

As long as you look at the pictures and their transformations, it's difficult not to enjoy Ursus Wehrli's Tiding Up Art. It's a blast, but language is more demanding though.

RSA Animate - Language as a Window into Human Nature. Personally, I love it. But it's actually just for the more linguistic-minded of you.

And at last, some vice and consequences, I mean, some poetry. Actually, a very powerful poetry reading by Felix Dennis.

Our buggy moral code

Hi guys,

Just a link to a very compelling TED talk we saw (only at some of the classes, though) about irracionalities... and on cheating while saving face :)

The English is pretty clear and understandable, and subtitles are available. Have a go!!!

The Empathic Civilization

Hi guys,

This is something I saw the other day and I thought you may like it. It's real English, talking on real life topics and events, so it's a bit hard. We've seen it in some of the advanced levels, but it may be interesting for all of you.
