Many thanks to the kind folks from around the world who responded to my Facebook plea and who now star in this video. It was lots of fun to work with you and make.
I’ve been wondering how animations might help students with grammar. If English teachers could have a penny for every time we’ve been asked ‘How you say…?’ or ‘What means…?” we’d all be very rich, so this video seemed to provide a good opportunity to experiment, and highlight some useful words and phrases for talking about language too like stress, syllable, abbreviation etc. So there are two short videos here – one on how to say cheers in 10 different languages and a second one with some grammar animations. All thoughts and suggestions grateful received.
