Registration forms appear in apps, hotels, scholarships and conferences. Always practise with fictitious data.

En EE. UU. la fecha se escribe mes/día/año: 03/10/2006 = 10 de marzo de 2006. Usa siempre datos ficticios: nunca tu número de cuenta ni de identidad.
Your AI assistants: SofIA
Recommended for this lesson: SofIA Gramatical, about Wh- questions with to be and numbers 0–100. SofIA asks your name, your career and your lesson, then helps you step by step. It explains, gives hints and helps you create your own mini-lesson, flashcards or practice. It never does graded work for you.

- MacArthur Fellows Program · MacArthur Foundation · U.S.
Mission: Find 1 fellow from your career area. Write her or his job.
Cultural competency: I can say what MacArthur Fellows is (Early October), use Wh- questions + numbers to talk about it, and compare it with Honduras.
Language bridge · plurilingual and intercultural
Use every language you know to learn English, and use English to understand other people.
Age: I am 19 (to be) · Tengo 19 años (tener). Don't say «I have 19 years».
How old are you?: Quel âge as-tu ? (FR) · Quantos anos você tem? (PT) · Quanti anni hai? (IT) · Wie alt bist du? (DE). French, Portuguese and Italian use «have», like Spanish; German uses «be», like English.
Dates: the U.S. writes month/day/year (03/10/2006 = March 10); Honduras writes day/month/year. A small difference that can change a deadline!
Read a classmate's fact card and tell another classmate 3 facts: name, city and career.
Your languages count: ask at home or in your community how to say it in Garífuna, Miskitu, the English of the Bay Islands or any other language you know, and add it to your glossary. Add it to «My languages» in your Passport →
