Welcome Fall 2022 Students!!!

 

Most of the new or updated documents on this site will be in html, html5, or pdf format.

In order to see a PDF document, you will need to have the Adobe Reader installed on your computer. For a free copy of this reader, go to: Latest Version of Adobe Reader [Windows XP]

Sometimes you may find an older document that is in Flash format. Given the End of Life (EOL 2020) for Flash files, you may not be able to immediately view a document in this format.

If you are willing to work around this problem yourself, please, read about the Flash Work-arounds below.

Otherwise copy the page's address and send it to me in an email. I will look for a way to update, convert, and send the material to you as quick as possible.

Flash Work-arounds:

If you want to watch a FLV file, you can simply downlaod it and open it using the open-source player VLC.

If you would like to watch a Flash Movie or SWF file, simply download the file localy and open it through the Ruffle webpage viewer. You can also explore how to use a Newgrounds or Lightspark Flash player.

Looking to use your Spanish?

Consider unleashing Kodi. The Exodus, Bassfox, Adryanlist, Pelisalacarta, ExabyteTV, and TecnoTV seem to be the most fruitful plugins.

Browse or read an interesting magazine, newspaper article or children's book  written in Spanish. 

Listen to a LIVE TV show or listen to the radio using RealRadio, Windows Media Player, or Pandora. Some of my favorites are:

 Canal 13 (Chile)
 Vtuner or Live365
 Jamendo,iHeartMusic,or Openwyd (Music in Spanish and English)
