This blog was created by 15 students of English in the Facultad de Estudios Superiores in Acatlán, part of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in order to practice English and, more importantly, to get to know students from other corners of our world. At the time of this posting, we have had great interest in participating on this blog from students and teachers in the following schools:

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City, Mexico
Bahar Higher Education Institute in Tehran, Iran
Omsk Pedagogical University in Omsk, Russia
Global Visions Academy in Chicago, Illinois, USA
Cedarville High School in Cedarville, Ohio, USA

We are very excited to hear from each and every student and teacher from these schools who wishes to contribute and we hope you feel the same! Please respond to the questions by posting a comment. You are encouraged to respond to at least two questions per week. By all means, feel free to share links to sites online that might share more about you or your culture with us.

The blog will be set up to allow non-members of Blogger or Google to contribute; however, we encourage you to sign your name (nickname or initials if you prefer) to posts and to add from where you are writing in order to better understand you message. If you do sign in with a Blogger or Google identity, we will automatically be able to view your profile and to link to any other blogs you author in order to get to know you better. Other students are very welcome to contribute, but we just ask that you let us know your name and where you are writing from!

Learn as much as you can from each other, and enjoy!
