Passport to English
After the success of Inglés Mundial, Passport to English (formerly called English Language World) was created in late 2010 as an equivalent website for non-Spanish speakers. Passport to English incorporates the English lessons from Inglés Mundial with explanations in simple English so that they can be used by a non-Spanish speaking audience. There are beginning, intermediate, and advanced level English lessons on the site. The lessons are thematically-based and each lesson includes a vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, dialogue, reading, pronunciation, dictation, and game page. Many of the lesson pages include .mp3 audio to enable students to hear and practice with native-speakers. All of the lesson pages contain interactive exercises that are self-correcting.

Meal Kit Info
This site sprang from my desire to experiment with meal kits as I became an empty nester. My husband and I started trying meal kit programs to decide which one we liked the best. I decided to review the programs so that others could learn about the programs as well.
