Por un momento creía que te habías ido de la olla.
Lo primero que veo es un artículo en inglés y es lo primero que he pensado. Luego he descendido y he visto el motivo, eso es otra cosa.
No está de más saber otros idiomas, sobretodo cuando te vas de vacaciones fuera de España y tienes que entenderte con la gente.
Ya sabes, a aplicarse, y todos los deberes hechos.

Que manera de repasar mas efectiva.
Me queda la duda, en la cuarta preguanta se lee "Whay" es "What" ¿verdad?

Martín, a veces si que se me va la olla, la perola y hasta la cocina. Y si no, que se lo pregunten a mi mujer.

Amigo anónimo, tienes razón no es "Whay" sino "What". Así que, efectivamente es efectiva. Repaso y me corrigen. Lo más importante.

Buena Cortesía
