Penélope Cruz on American TV
Watch this interview with our most international actress on Jimmy Kimmel's show. You'll see her English is OK, but nothing to write home about (like her movies, by the way). WATCH IT HERE
Translation Machine
I hope you enjoy this funny video about a device to translate women's words into plain English: WATCH VIDEO

Lace walls in Ireland
One of the funniest anecdotes of our trip happened on the bus on our way to Moher cliffs. Our Irish guide was telling us about some of the "lace walls" that crisscrossed the landscape. As some of the students didn't understand "lace" I translated the word and said "puntillas" to the guide, who repeated on the microphone for everyone to hear: "putillas?". You can imagine how funny that sounded!

Our trip to Dublin
Outside the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Superb tour + "complimentary" pint of Guinness at their Gravity Bar while enjoying 360º views of Dublin. http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/Index.aspx
