Funny cognate poems show how to learn or teach a vast vocabulary in a foreign language by using the vocabulary you already know in your own language!  Two lessons and examples included.  Excellent, and free material for students or teachers!

Links to Livelong, my program to live long in a younger body!

Two one-act plays by the genius of comedy, Georges Feydeau

note: This is only my front page, with links to my various interests. That includes my Amazing Cognate Poems; my personal Rejuvenation program (it works!); my favorite place in Mexico (Can Cun); my passion for the French playwrite Georges Feydeau's very funny plays, some of which I have translated to English; my high school Alma Mater (American High School, Mexico City); and maybe someday, others. Please do not judge this page. Go to the links for these subjects and you will understand why some of them have received some very important awards. - Ellis

Note: Spanish in An Instante is a very long, very funny poem. It is the best of my cognate poems... If you liked my two poems above, you will love this one! But you can only receive it if you humor me, the author. Read The Story Behind Spanish In An Instante and learn how you can receive this magnificent poem at no cost to you! You help me, and I'll help you. (I am being modest when I only say this poem is magnificent... It has won several prizes, so I know it is pretty good. Besides, I could have also said it is amazing, fantastic, fabulous, wonderful... I know a great poem after I have written it!)

Ellis!

I just received the book, and it is S-O useful!

I will really use it a lot.

I am to have lunch with one of the instructors of Spanish from the college where I teach tomorrow, and I plan to show it to her. Do you still have a supply in case she wants one also?

Thank you again.
