Yesterday was the opening ceremony of the XXV Olympic Winter Games. Besides amazing artists like Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini, Ghali, Lang Lang, Cecilia Bartoli, Sabrina Impacciatore, ... it was a very impressive and moving ceremony. I took some photos of it on my TV. Or here are a few links: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/videos/opening-ceremony-ceremonies-milano-cortina-2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDg7exbRAE I especially like the core values ​​of the Olympic Games: * Excellence (peak performance) * Friendship (international understanding) * Respect (respect for human dignity) A bit like LME. We do our best in learning Finding friends in the community. And of course, we respect each other Are you watching the Games, or is it not for you? There are so many sports (including new ones like ski mountaineering, sounds interesting 😅) ...and of course I'm also looking forward to the Super Bowl tomorrow. 🤣 Big hugs, Ralph

Hey guys! Quick announcement 🙂 This Sunday, we’ll be doing Dictation Sunday again ✍️🎧 The class is already on the CALENDAR — just wanted to give you a heads-up and remind everyone to join. The idea is to train our short-term memory. I’ll pick one of our ‘old’ DDM VIP or PIRF VIP assignments and read some paragraphs sentence by sentence. You’re supposed to write down what you hear and post your answers in the chatroom. Then we compare your answers with the original script. After that, one of you could read another paragraph, and the rest of us, including me, will try to catch it 👀. Since we are all from different countries and have different accents, this will also help improve our listening comprehension 🌎. Plus, by reading the assignment, we can focus on our pronunciation and learn some vocabulary so we can discuss it afterwards 💬. LISTEN TO IT 🎧 • WRITE IT ✏️ • MASTER IT 🚀
