Hay cuatro pasos fáciles para aprender, hablar, leer y escribir Inglés. La gramática Inglesa es fácil de aprender. No empiece a aprender gramática pensando que la gramática es difícil. Las principales diferencias entre las gramáticas Inglesa y Española son los verbos y cómo se conjugan, los pronombres y su colocación y los adjetivos y los nombres. Muchas palabras Inglesas no se pronuncian como se escriben. Esto hace que aprender Inglés sea un poquito más difícil. Necesita pasar una cantidad igual de tiempo leyendo, escribiendo, escuchando y hablando Inglés.

NATIONAL ANTHEM ¡Guatemala feliz...! que tus aras no profane jamás el verdugo; ni haya esclavos que laman el yugo ni tiranos que escupan tu faz.
Es tu enseña pedazo de cielo en que prende una nube su albura, y ¡ay de aquel que, con ciega locura, sus colores pretenda manchar!
Si mañana tu suelo sagrado lo amenaza invasión extranjera, libre al viento tu hermosa bandera a vencer o a morir llamará.
Pues sus hijos valientes y altivos, que veneran la Paz cual presea, nunca esquivan la ruda pelea si defienden su tierra y su hogar.
CORO
CORO
Libre al viento tu hermosa bandera a vencer o a morir llamará; que tu pueblo con ánima fiera antes muerto que esclavo será.
Nunca esquivan la ruda pelea si defienden su tierra y su hogar, que es tan sólo el honor su alma idea y el altar de la patria su altar.
De tus viejas y duras cadenas tu forjaste con mano iracunda el arado que el suelo fecunda y la espada que salva el honor.
Recostada en el ande soberbio de dos mares al ruido sonoro, bajo el ala de grana y de oro te adormeces del bello quetzal.
Nuestros padres lucharon un día encendidos en patrio ardimiento y lograron sin choque sangriento colocarte en un trono de amor.
Ave indiana que vive en tu escudo paladión que protege tu suelo; ¡ojalá que remonte su vuelo, más que el cóndor y el águila real!

Y lograron sin choque sangriento colocarte en un trono de amor, que dé patria en enérgico acento, dieron vida al ideal redentor.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. -The beginning of the English language was due to the invasion of United Kingdom, (England, Scottish, Wales, and Ireland) by the Jutes, Saxons, Angles, Celts from the Northern Germany and Denmark, and, The Scandinavian Tribes, as well. All their own languages had the influence of LATIN, GERMAN, RUSSIAN, GREEK, FRENCH and some Indo-European Languages. -The need for survival increased the need for a common media of communication. So by the year 400 AC, they had already developed a single language which was the FIRST STAGE of the English language which now is called OLD ENGLISH. It was spoken from 400 to 1100 AC. -From 1100 to 1450 AC the French language was brought to England and enriched the English vocabulary much more. This was because of the Norman Conquest. During this time the French language was spoken by the royalty while Old English was spoken by common people. Then in 1450 English was declared the official language of England again. -The 15th. Century brought the REFORM that gave people freedom of religion. From 1450 to 1800 was the duration of the SECOND STAGE well known as GOLDEN AGE of English in which William Tyndale published the first printed translation of the NEW TESTAMENT. Besides that Mr. William Shakespeare shows his literature writings, and moreover, King James published in 1611 his version of the BIBLE. -The 16th. Was the beginning of the THIRD STAGE that is called the MODERN AGE, in 1800. The meaning of the words was standardized by the publication of the first DICCIONARY, FIRST GRAMMAR BOOK, THE FIRST SPELLING BOOK. MODERN ENGLIGH IS A STANDARIZED LANGUAGE and it still being spoken now a days. -*The ENGLISH LANGUAGE is said to be a LIVING LANGUAGE because is constantly changing. Now days, the English language is updating and keep of being modernizing year to year. Breve Historia del Idioma Ingles. -El origen del Idioma Ingles se debió a la invasión de la Tribus Escandinavas y de las Tribus del Noroeste de Alemania y Dinamarca conocidos como yutes, sajones, anglos y celtas. Todos sus idiomas tenían la influencia de los Idiomas: Latino, Ruso, Griego, Alemán, Francés y algunos Indo-Europeos. -La necesidad de supervivencia incremento la urgencia de tener un Idioma único como medio de comunicación. Entonces para el año 400 D.C. ellos ya habían desarrollado un idioma simple al cual se le llamo EL PRIMER PERIODO del Ingles o conocido como VIEJO INGLES. Este fue hablado entre el año 400 al año 1,100 D.C. -Del año 1,100 al año 1,450 D.C. el idioma Francés fue traído a Inglaterra a raíz de la Conquista Normanda el cual enriqueció mucho más el Ingles. Durante este tiempo el Francés era el Idioma Oficial de la Realeza y el Ingles de las Población común. En 1,450 se declaro nuevamente el Idioma Ingles como el Idioma Oficial de Inglaterra. -El Siglo 15 trajo la reforma que le dio libertad de Religión a las personas. De 1,450 a 1,800 duro el Segundo Periodo también conocido como la Era Dorada del Ingles y en la cual William Tyndalepublico su primera versión impresa del Nuevo Testamento. Además el señor William Shakespeare realizo sus primeros escritos de Literatura. Así como la primera publicación de la Biblia en Ingles en 1,611 por King James. -En el Siglo 16 se inicio el Tercer Periodo al que se le llamo Era Moderna, en el año de 1,800. Se publico el primer diccionario de Ingles estandarizado, así como el primer libro de Gramática, el primer libro de Ortografía. El Ingles moderno es un idioma estándar que existe en la actualidad. -*Al Idioma Ingles se le conoce como el Idioma Viviente porque constantemente esta cambiando. Actualmente el Idioma Ingles esta siendo actualizado y modernizado año con año.

UNITED STATES NATIONAL ANTHEM ‘’The Star Spangled Banner’’ I O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave? II On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! III And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner, in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! IV O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our Trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

HIMNO NACIONAL DE ESTADOS UNIDOS La bandera tachonada de estrellas I Oh di, ¿puedes ver, con la primera luz de la aurora, Lo que tan orgullosamente saludamos en el último destello del crepúsculo, Cuyas amplias franjas y brillantes estrellas, a través de tenebrosa lucha, Sobre las murallas observábamos ondear tan gallardamente? Y el rojo fulgor de cohetes, las bombas estallando en el aire, Dieron prueba en la noche de que nuestra bandera aún estaba ahí. Oh di, ¿sigue ondeando la bandera tachonada de estrellas sobre la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes? II En la orilla, escasamente visible entre la niebla del mar, Donde la horda arrogante del enemigo en pavoroso silencio reposa ¿Qué es aquello que la brisa, sobre cimás más altas, Caprichosamente ondula, mostrándose y ocultándose a un tiempo? Ahora capta el resplandor del primer rayo del día, En plena gloria reflejada ahora brilla en la corriente: Es la bandera tachonada de estrellas! Oh que ondee largo tiempo Sobre la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes! III ¿Y dónde está esa franja a la que tan firmemente juraron Que los estragos de la guerra y la confusión de la batalla No deberían dejarnos más un hogar y una patria? Su sangre ha limpiado la contaminación de sus sucios pasos. Ningún refugio podría salvar a los mercenarios y los esclavos Del terror de la huida, o de la penumbra de la tumba: Y la bandera tachonada de estrellas, triunfante ondea Sobre la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes. IV ¡Oh, que siempre sea así cuando los hombres libres se mantengan firmes Entre sus queridos hogares y la desolación de la guerra! Benditos en la victoria y la paz, que la tierra rescatada por el Cielo Alabe el Poder que ha logrado y que nos ha conservado como nación. Luego conquistar debemos cuando nuestra causa sea justa Y este sea nuestro lema: «En Dios está nuestra Confianza». ¡Y la bandera tachonada de estrellas triunfante ondeará Sobre la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes!

Stories The two goats Over a river there was a very narrow bridge. One day a goat was crossing this bridge. Just at the middle of the bridge he met another goat. There was no room for them to pass. "Go back," said one goat to the other, "there is no room for both of us". "Why should I go back?", said the other goat. "Why should not you go back?" " You must go back", said the first goat, "because I am stronger than you." "You are not stronger than I", said the second goat. "We will see about that", said the first goat, and he put down his horns to fight. "Stop!", said the second goat. " If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and be drowned. Instead I have a plan- I shall lie down, and you may walk over me." Then the wise goat lay down on the bridge, and the other goat walked lightly over him. So they passed each other, and went on their ways.
The little dog and the donkey A man had a little dog, and he was very fond of it. He would pat its head, and take it on his knee, and talk to it. Then he would give it little bits of food from his own plate. A donkey looked in at the window and saw the man and the dog. "Why does he not make a pet of me?" said the donkey. "It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only wags its tail, and barks, and jumps on its master's knee. It is not fair." Then the donkey said to himself, "If I do what the dog does, he may make a pet of me." So the donkey ran into the room. It brayed as loudly as it could. It wagged its tail so hard that it knocked over a jar on the table. Then it tried to jump on to its master's knee. The master thought the donkey was mad, and he shouted, "Help! Help!" Men came running in with sticks, and they beat the donkey till it ran out of the house, and they drove it back to the field. "I only did what the dog does," said the donkey," and yet they make a pet of the dog, and they beat me with sticks. It is not fair."

The frogs Two frogs had lived in a village all their lives. they thought they would like to go and see the big city that was about ten miles away. They talked about it for a long time, and at last they set off to see the city. It was a hot day, and they soon began to feel tired. They had only gone a little way when one said to the other, "We must be nearly there. Can you see the city?" "No," said the other frog; "but if I climb on your back I might be able to see it." So he climbed up on the back of the other frog to see the city. Now when the frog put up his head, his eyes could only see what was behind, and not what was in front. So he saw the village they had just left. "Can you see the city?", asked the frog who was below. "Yes," answered the frog who had climbed up. " I can see it. It looks just like our village." Then the frogs thought that it was not worthwhile going any farther. They went back and told the frogs round the village that they had seen the city, and it was just like theirs.
The wolf and the lamb A wolf carried off a lamb. The lamb said, " I know you are going to eat me, but before you eat me I would like to hear you play the flute. I have heard that you can play the flute better than anyone else, even the shepherd himself." The wolf was so pleased at this that he took out his flute and began to play. When he had done, the lamb insisted him to play once more and the wolf played again. The shepherd and the dogs heard the sound, and they came running up and fell on the wolf and the lamb was able to get back to the flock.

Love and the time Once upon a time, in an island there lived all the feelings and emotions : Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to them that the island would sink! So all constructed boats and left.Except for Love. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "Sorry Love, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat and so there is no place here for you." Love next asked Vanity who was also sailing by. Vanity was also ready with the same answer. "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, take me along with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!", sadness said in a sullen voice. Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so preoccupied with her happiness that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. An overjoyed Love jumped up into the boat and in the process forgot to ask where they were going. When they arrived at a dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge another elder, "Who Helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" thought Love. Then, as if reading the face of Love, Knowledge smiled and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
