Money, Money, Money


The next few days we will be talking about money in class. How exciting! To get in the mood, here's a video clip of unforgettable Liza Minelli singing "Money, money, money" in the film Cabaret. The film won 8 Oscars in 1973, including one to the best actress in the leading role, Liza Minelli. If you want to read a bit more about the film Cabaret click here.
Talking about money: "A mark, a yen, a buck, a pound". What is a buck? Do you know the slang word for a pound? What does the edge inscription read on a one-pound coin? It's very interesting to learn a bit more about the British one pound coin.

    Hi there!!

    I´m just back from Madrid. I spent the weekend there so next day I´ll tell you what I found in the room the Halloween night....
    Money, money, money it´s what I need to travel more! hehe that´s a well-known song but I've never seen the movie Cabaret.
    I remember you said the slang word for a pound once...maybe...quid??
    I think sometimes we use the word "buck" to talk about euros but in Spanish, of course. Well, I use it...
    See you on Tuesday!

    Hi, Jess,
    You certainly don´t waste your time, do you? This time Madrid. Well I´m sure you had a great time... can´t wait to hear about your weekend in the big capital.
    By the way, have a look at the video clip This is Halloween from Tim Burton´s film The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think you´ll love it.
    See you in class next Tuesday.
