Networking Tools
Hi everyone, I've been pretty busy lately. I attended a 'social networking conference' this past week, interviewed a singer songwriter, and was preparing classes for new online students. So, I didn't have any time to get a podcast out. But, I think I'm back on track. This is a short podcast about...

Eating Humble Pie
I was watching tv the other night, and David Letterman's show came on. He was interviewing the ever provocative Madonna, and started asking her what she liked on her 'pie'. Cheese?...No, it's bad for you...Olives?...No, I don't like them....Salami?.... No, it's full of fat....Anchovies?... No,...

Email Etiquette for ESL Students
I like it when people respond to my emails. If I sent an email specifically addressed to you, would you respond? Or would it depend on who I was, and what I did? When would you respond? Immediately, within a week, or never? Well, you might get away with it some of the time, but not all of the…

The Blind Men and the Elephant
This struck me as pertinent to the current economic, and global climate, and so I was moved to make a video about the subject. The story of The Blind Men and the Elephant is also strongly related to my views on education and Personalized Online Learning and Teaching. Certainly the movement…

Soccer Talk
Hi there, Well, my Brazilian students will be happy with me....because at long last I've produced a recording of some soccer vocabulary. If you are going to make 'small talk' why not make 'soccer talk' right? Small talk is the art of conversation about nothing, so I think 'soccer talk' might be...

Present Perfect Paella
This is a short introductory podcast to an extended subscriber version. This podcast was lots of fun to make. When I was in Southern Spain many years ago I remember eating a Paella by the sea, made by an old lady in a beach side restaurant. There was nothing special about the restaurant at all.…

Phrasal Verbs with 'Get'
A few weeks ago I produced a short video for phrasal verbs that are formed with the verb'get'. Well, as part of our online course I produced this short glossary. So, I thought I'd share it with you. The online course is available for $15.00, which includes a feedback/review class with a native...

What are you doing?
Have you seen this question on your twitter account? What... you haven't got a twitter account? Well, this is a good example of present continuous tense, and it means.......? Yes, that's right, it means 'what are you doing, now'. You can also use tomorrow, as in, 'what are you doing tomorrow?' Or...

Reading between the Lines
When you're reading in a second language you don't need to understand everything. Try to understand a little at a time. Eventually the words will show themselves again, in a different media and you'll think 'hey, there's that word again'. You don't need to seek them out in a dictionary. With…

The 'On the Go' Learning System 'Mate'
Two students told me today that they didn't understand 'colloquial language' and had difficulty understanding native speakers. It's a common problem. But it doesn't need to be. Not if you have the recently released 'On the Go' English Language System 'Mate'. It travels with you, and makes…

How to Make English Creative and Interesting.
English classes are boring!! That's what our students told us. So what did we do? We involved the students in the creative process. Our students control next weeks lesson. They determine what they're learning and when. Yes, it means they have to collaborate but...wow, now the lessons are fun,...
