American Pie
As I talked about Madonna's Super Bowl performance in my last post, I remembered that she recorded a song that show a little about American Way. I love this video. I want to show them to my students in Brazil.

Super bowl and super show
The best thing about American football is probably not the game, but the break time. It has been a tradition as the Super Ball season great artists make a performance during the break time. People like Black Eyed Peas, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Slash and Madonna have already to take part in it.
In my opinion one of the most best performances was Madonna in 2012, unfortunately she has not put that part in her current tour in that time (MDNA).
Last week Red Hot Chilli Peppers made a performance in a game. However they were accused to use playback. At least the sound was horrible.
Well, what really important in Super Bowl is who will be the next musical.

Small piece of a new world
Philadelphia has been surprising me in a positively way. I have to say that come to the USA had never been a wish in my life. Of course I should come here someday only to visit, but if I had to pay for a interchange program, probably it would not be my first choice.
Firstly because it is an expensive place to study, and second perhaps because as I have studied at a British language course it would be more comfortable to me to be in England or in another Britain country.
However, my experience in Philadelphia has made me change my concepts about the USA. People are kind, city is organized and most of Americans that I knew were absolutely lovely with me and patients with my horrible English. I am in serious relationship with USA and mainly with Philadelphia

English and Music: Ella Fitzgerald
A terrific way to learn English and practice pronunciation/listening/vocabular/grammar is listen to music. Then how I love music as too much than I love English, I always try to mix both in my lessons and even in my way to learn more.
Here is one of the most amazing American´s voice. She sang like an angel, perfect voice, technic and passion. Cheers for ever Ella Fitzgerald.
