Session 1 : I divided the class into groups of 4 students and gave them a card with sayings written in register worship to be translated into standard Castilian using their knowledge of old English proverb. I raised language as a contest: the winning group would be one that recognized a greater number of sayings, and playfulness that led to a more active participation. These were the proposals for their solutions.

Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are

Session 2: I proposed to the students who asked several sayings to their parents or grandparents and write them down on the tab.
Session 3: did a word search exercise in the RAE dictionary and thesaurus WordReferenece Sinónimos.org and so replacing those terms of the sayings by cults or looking for a definition that includes technicalities. Most students knew how to do it independently, but in other cases it took a guided orientation about the most appropriate terms in each case. These are some of the translations made by students:
