Welcome to this school year. My name is RALF, and this year we have ONE important objective; to like English. If you like English, you can learn English. It is very important to open our mind and change our attitude about English. My goal is to help you learn and improve your English. I will explain everything, but you also need to work and get involved in your learning. On the right, you have two important links to practice and improve. Use them when ever it is necessary. Let's have fun!
