Rounders!

I love this one. Yes, there are a lot of slang.

But as Canada Bill Jones said, “It’s immoral to let a sucker keep his money.”

Thursday, September 13th 2012Reply to this comment

Nice one, will help improve my skills for sure :P

@axelesk Just download a movie in any language and then look for the subtitles in google. You need VLC Player or Media Player Classic for that. Once you’ve got the movie and the subtitles on your computer, put them in one folder and name the subtitles file after the movie one. Hope it works, good luck!

Friday, September 14th 2012Reply to this comment

Thanks for your effots but I can only partly agree with you, sorry. Imagine you’ve just started learning Russian and try to watch a film in Russian or read a children’s poem. To do that you have to be at least an independant language user. Even in this case I am in a doubt if you will understand the movie…

Friday, September 14th 2012Reply to this comment

This was very instructive. Thanks.

Wednesday, September 26th 2012Reply to this comment

Thank you! I especially liked the tip about writing and changing words, as I do that in my own language when writing and “stealing” structures or sentences from good writing authors. Very good lesson, I would also include listenings of all types not only movies, listenings like the radio which normally is more easy as the topics are more focused.

It was a great lesson, I have just found this video by chance. I was watching the music videos, and felt like I wanted to hear some English conversation. I used to be an English teacher, but my English is not really good. This video will help me to improve not only my English but also the way I will be teaching my students when I go back to my country. I have no doubt why people in my country are not well-educated, the low quality of high technology is the main consequence.

Tuesday, May 28th 2013Reply to this comment

Hi teacher, thanks for your useful lesson about the communication. i want to respond you for the seven question. I don’t want to meet someone. The only that i want from him is to respond me at the conversation. In my job all my life i was with people who was thinking that was somebody big and i was not able to talk with. Now if someone asks me only then i respond him not in other way.
Please if you have a little time correct me and please if you want correct and my essay because i’m not an author but a simple waiter from Greece.
Thank you in advance.
