end of year celebration

Last December 11, the Cervantes Institute in Rio de Janeiro held its year-end celebration with presentation of certificates to students who have completed their courses. The coordinator of the electronic magazine The insistent, Daniella Wagner took the opportunity and submitted to all the experience and, most importantly, they were invited to participate. Lee to follow the text and animated also be one of the persistent !


This is the story of the insistent. When we finished our regular course, in 2008, asked the Cervantes Institute to establish a course for further study and maintaining contact with the English language. So two years ago we started a course in six modules with topics as diverse as "grammar", "English through Film," "talk, debate and argue "with texts by contemporary English authors," language and culture through music, "" gender discourse in English, "until we reach the English and new technologies." That's when we started doing the blog .

The insistent with Joan, and Bethlehem
"The old guard" is how we are introduced to new students Professor Joan Maresma, we accompanies long ago. is that, really, we are here since 2004. In addition, after we saw in film class The Holy Innocents, we discovered a better nickname for our group: The insistent, or better said, those who never leave the Instituto Cervantes.

The blog's insistent infected us soon. Writing texts, joint corrections of errors, the selection of links, pictures and videos to publication, all that is cause for satisfaction because we are always learning, and above, we had fun ... The

insistent has become an electronic journal open to all students of the Instituto Cervantes in Rio de Janeiro. Alumni are also very welcome. The idea is to use Internet tools for the English can be a living language for us, Brazilian learners of this culture that we love. We also have an official Facebook page, where we already have over 60 fans. We

_ Alan, Alfredo, Ana, Carol, Laura, Victor and I _, we are proud that the electronic journal The insistent is growing slowly, even with the participation of new partners, the brave Bianca Stamato , Lívia Guimarães Duarte and Herbert, and also a former student, Fernanda Godoy, that is our correspondent in New York.

more insistent ...
... are coming
The truth is we're trying to do it the best way possible. And when we think we done well, our core enthusiast, Professor Belén García Llamas, invents something different and challenges us once again.

Hence we interviewed the director of the Cervantes Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Martínez Luciano, who will open a new section in the insistent, the interviews. And also interviewed the new cultural manager, Naomi Oliva García-Baquero.

has been and continues to be a great experience!

Therefore, we invite other students from the Cervantes Institute in Rio de Janeiro to participate in this magazine is not just ours. And especially to you who you form today, Do not consider your day ended here. What ye yourselves from The emphasis on learning English. I hope.

Thank you all!

Difference Mino Ultra Flip

"Mes que un club"

Herbert
Guimarães
What to expect on Monday? The first working day of the week in general is boring, no motivation for anything. But on Monday, November 29 was very different. First

a day because of the Liga, as parties often spend Saturdays and Sundays. But not only that was weird, the strangest was a Barcelona x Real Madrid match on Monday.


Maybe the football gods have chosen a date uncommon to give us a great game, it was a great display of Barca. Nobody anywhere in the world imagine that "Barça" would win so easily, with five goals up! But goals were a detail, since the club played in a imnotizadora, while the Madrid match their defense, also, when a device ignores the class of the "Blaugrana" and tries to address them as equals, his death is written before that the referee blows the whistle starting the match.

also Messi and his companions did not lose the opportunities created and made everyone feel happy Barca. What impressed was the quality of touch on the ball of the Catalan team. We, Brazilians, like we played good football. I enjoyed the game, and how Barça Madrid humiliated by the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho. They were very confident that they had a computer at the same level of Barça, but the truth is that they have much yet.


Well, after a game like this, I hope that Barca continue practicing their beautiful football and we provide other Monday so special. I admire all the work they do from the quarry, its organization and its "cracks."

can really say is "more than a club."

Japan: Prints from another planet

Lívia Duarte


Reaching Japan is like landing on another planet, where there are also human, but much more modern, but live with their ancient culture. In twelve days of life on this planet, I saw that everything is a surprise.

hair tips that are full of men, style "I'm still a little girl in uniform college" girls and shoes much larger than the feet that carry all. Everything is a matter of attention, every detail every day, every smile that open when we deliver a card or key.

tiny style
I also was intrigued by the large number of private clubs and prostitutes in Sakae in Nagoya, or the fact that although is economic power in the world, hardly anyone speaks English. Swirl of images in which everything changes - because the alphabet is not the alphabet and writing them is for us to picture - or need to talk.

Japan The planet is overpopulated and it works like clockwork. Everything is timely: the people, the nineteen Tokyo subway lines, the closing time of the breakfast room. Do not try asking "five little minutes more." None. But if a detail goes wrong, there is total despair in the air. The faces, closed. All go crazy until everything is perfect again.'s When the smile again Japanese face. That's what I had said, and then when they found my reservation at the airport, I saw is true.

Of the customs of Japan, know that business cards are the rule. I think kids and dogs just do not. You should know that they are not given to someone with one hand, or with some haste. You have to give everything with two hands, a smile and looking at the face who looks forward to receiving and rushing off to the next engagement. For all are available for five seconds but seemed five hours: that is the Western impatience. It seemed that no one lives without courtesy or cordiality. It is the most polite and caring to be, even without touching hands.


with a German friend and no tour guides was possible to observe a lot, understand little and create many theories about the Japanese lifestyle. Therefore, take little account of what I'm counting.

Nagoya Castle
Nagoya City I met a lot more work - I can best describe the convention center and the circle line metro the streets around my hotel -. The city is very clean, but in general the buildings are gray, straight, unattractive. The buildings of the oldest parts of Tokyo are equal. This is the case of the Asakusa district, where he was staying. But there are so many people, so, so! Not needed beautiful buildings if there are so many people to look down the street.

After losing thousands of times, the meter can always reach any site: the modern streets of Ginza, full of famous shops where you can spend all lottery winnings in one day, the Tsukiji fish market to watch the incredible work and more organized chaos around the world, the huge Shibuya crossing their currencies and thousands of young people around. Nijubashi, the emperor's palace, is also close to the Marunouchi subway, with its bonsai garden with a normal size tree.

down again If you can exit the subway in Shijuku to see the city towers above the government building. From there you can see Mount Fuji, (but I do not, because it rained every day!). From Tokyo also worth the trip by train to Nikko. Full of ancient temples, this is a site almost indescribable. And in autumn there are out there yellow or red trees are beautiful, magical.

sure there's much more to say and you can write a whole novel in thirty hours by plane. Take time out of a crazy and beautiful world like Japan.
