HANCOCK -- Buenos días, lectores. Así empiezo una mañana, escribiendo en español, para entretenimiento y deleite de los que están aprendiendo el idioma.

Trataré de poner en mis notas algo nuevo cada día para que los lectores tengan oportunidad de practicar e investigar las nuevas palabras. Por intermedio de la editora contestaré las preguntas que tengan ustedes. Gracias por compartir el lenguaje.
