Master of None

I really like watch series, specially Netflix´series . I spend almost all of my time at work, but when I have time I like pretty much watch series at home.  I enjoy it. I watch series because is my hobby, however I think is an excelent resource to improve my english.

I want make you a recomendation about a good serie. I have been watching a fun Netflix´s serie called "Master of None".  This serie it´s about an indian actor called "Dev" who is living in New York.  All the episodes are about his personal and professional life and also his romatic and cultural experiences.

Dev works as a professional actor, mainly for comecial and tv shows. As a part of the hindu community in the Unitad States, Dev has to fight againts sterotypes. For some reason, the white people  think  if you or your family are from India you work as a IT guy, scientist or cabbie.  That could sounds funny for us, but not for Dev, who is trying to be recognozied by his work as an actor.

Dev´s personal live is another important part of the story. You will meet all prinpicals Dev´s friends and part of their lives. Every Dev´s friends are from different cultures, so that makes the story more exiting, specially if you want to know about the most  common cultures in the Unitated Sates.

Dev´s character has been interpreted by Aziz Ansari, who is also a one of the series´ creator.  The serie also was created by Alang Yang.  Furthermore Azari Ansari is an excellent comedian.You can watch a lot of his videos in youtube.

In my personal point of view, "Master of None" has a brilliant story with a intelligent sense of humor. I hope give yourself a chance to watch this sensational serie.

Have you seen "Master of None" before? Do you know a similar serie? . Plaese, leave you comments.

Write a blog and learng english!

Is it a good idea study english and the same time write a blog in english?. I think it´s an excellent idea, let me explain you why. 

I have been envolved in the growing bloggers world since I was a university student.I am happy to say that I have read a lot of extraordinary and amazing blogs, especially about technology, education and personal finances. Also I have my own blog about software development ( this is the link http://xamurais.com/). I had worked as university professor before I got my current job. I usally used the blogs as a way to shared the knowledge among students. It was a fantastic idea because my students wrote interesting,creative, high level articles. My students  surprised me a lot!!. Having worked as a professor allowed me to identify the main skills that someone should develop to write good articles  : Imagination and perseverance.  I believe these skills are the same to improve your english. 

To be honest, isn´t easy write a blog. Specially if you have a very busy life , but maybe could be a great experience.  Plese, try to write a blog and let your self write and speak in english.

Write a blog and you will deveplop the imagination and grammar skills and consequently you will be better english speaker and writer. No matter what you write about, no matter what are your interests, if you write a blog You will be able to improve your skills about the language. 

You can noticed I am not an excellent fantastic writter yet but I am pretty sure I will improve my english and in consecuence I will write better in english. And I am pretty sure I will speak english better because I will have written a lot of texts in english.
