Grammar: What grammar tenses/patterns did you learn or practice most? How did you learn them and how /when are you going to use them?

The grammar we used was present as we talked about what exists today. We used vocabulary from the properties and Emma also explained the
fancy grammar from England.
Language skills involved in the whole process: Which skills did you use mostly during the interactions? Did you just speak and listen to your
peer? Did you write on the chat or somewhere else? Did you exchange any videos or songs? Did you exchange any texts for your peer to read?

We use the chat to be able to interact, through conversation and by sending us pictures of the topics to be able to explain them.

Cultural and communicative patterns: What cultural aspects/topics did you talk about? What did you learn from your peer’s culture and what
do you think he/she learned from yours? Did you consider any cultural aspects of your own culture or your peer’s to make the interaction clearer
and smoother?

I learnt about the culture of England which I think is great and this culture is based on the British monarchy.
On the other hand, the houses that exist in England are very old and are looking to be preserved for a long time.
