New Internet Provider Is Offering Faster, Legal Access To Netflix US Netflix US, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Now, and BBC iPlayer are about to become legally available to Aussies willing to fork out $129.95 a month. Probably legal, anyway. Signs point to "yes-ish", but Yournet is a new player in the ISP market, with the sole purpose of giving Australians an option to access international content without using a VPN or DNS workaround. The aim is more content, faster. "It won't access your internet connection whatsoever," Bhuva told CRN. Basically: no more Netflix buffering, and no more adding / deleting your DNS every time you want to switch libraries. When Netflix launched in Australia, everyone lost their collective shit - over a million people signed up in the first six weeks. It also kicked the government into action - they passed the controversial Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill 2015 last month, to allow content rights holders the ability to get foreign piracy related websites blocked by the Federal Court. via Fairfax / CRN

ENGAMES Countable and uncountable nouns When I speak with native speakers of English they often tell me that the concept of countability in English is absolutely natural. “You simply know which noun is countable and which is not.” However, this natural feeling is nearly impossible to teach. Based on my experience I have created the following mind map where I try to set some rules to help the learners of English. The rules given here are in no way foolproof but I hope they will help a bit. Countable or Uncountable – mind map Countable or Uncountable – games Now it is time to test your knowledge in games.

10 English Words with the most multiple meanings – Part 1 José is in his third and final week with me on a home stay full immersion course and has come to the conclusion that the English Language is extremely confusing and frustrating! Especially when it comes to all those words that have multiple meanings. I have to confess that he has got a point. Take the word “run” for example. Kaplan has taken each word and categorised them according to the different parts of speech, for example, verb, noun, adverb, adjective and so on as well as verb phrases and idioms. Part 1 will deal with the first 5 words.

J & J Books and Coffee J & J opened in Dec '03, but the idea began months earlier. As an American living in Madrid, Jamie says the thing she missed the most was being able to curl up in a big chair with a mocha in one hand and several books to read in her lap. So together with her husband, Javi, they moved to Los Angeles to buy thousands (and I mean thousands!) of books from used bookstores, libraries sales, yard sales and anywhere else they could find good used books. Then they returned to Madrid to convert a Chinese restaurant into their dream Bookstore/Coffee shop. Now it's a great success.
