Hello!

Hello students!

We are Esther, Susi, Carmen and Lucía, four students from the "Master de Secundaria" at the University of Alicante.

Breaking with traditions is a blog to learn and practice English. We want to show you some traditions in a different way, breaking with normal traditions. We will also explain how to use reported speech in English. As we know that studying grammar can be boring, we have tried to make this blog as fun as possible, so... ENJOY IT!

This is our e-mail address: breakingwithtraditions@hotmail.com
