The best place in my house is where my computer is. It is where I work remotely, study at Platzi and enjoy the benefits of the internet. The place has 2 windows where you can hear noises coming from outside my house. I spend a lot of time in that place.

Which techniques do you recommend to memorize new vocabulary?

Axel Yaguana

Team Platzi•

Hi, Jaime! :D

When I learn new vocab I try to use these words as much as I can. For instance, in speaking groups, I use this vocab from time to time. This way helps me familiarise with new words and their applications.

I like my dinning room, it’s the place I’m right now, it’s spacious, cozy I always try not to let it messy sometimes I work or study here even though the most of the times I do it in my office, but is nice to switch the place for doing it sometimes, I general terms my apartment isn’t drafty or stuffy, and have very big windows so it’s really good lightened

I live in a loft, I have a rooftop where I can take my daily coffee in the mornings, it’s spacious and with great drift of air, a negative thing is that is far away from work, but since I’ve been doing home office, it isn’t that bad.

I live in a spacious apartment. During summer, it's very cool, but in winter, it doesn't get warm. For me, it's convenient because the mall is nearby and the bus station is only 3 blocks away from home.
