I had a fun encounter this month. A message popped up somewhere from Grant Duncan (a TEFL teacher and songwriter in New Zealand) about his band’s latest album. I asked if he’d like us to make a clickable transcript for one of the numbers and put it on www.simpleenglishvideos.com. ‘Yes please’, he said, so we found ourselves making a music video for The Audio Justice. Ha! See below for the result. My husband plays the part of the stressed out businessman – rather too well I think.
We’re celebrating our three month birthday over at Simple English Videos dot com with the launch of a new section to the site. We have a teacher in Japan to thank for the inspiration. The regular site was too dark for her students and we realized young learners (yl) needed their own place. We wanted it ad-free and self contained to avoid them clicking off to places we’d rather they didn’t go. So it has its own subdomain with a yl prefix. In the process we came up with what we hope is a neat way of switching between computer and mobile versions. Click here to check it out.
And finally we’re delighted to announce that our one minute video English lessons are now available along with with interactive exercises on the English 360 platform. Look for the course called ‘Action’. We have a big batch of scripts for new videos ready to go. Shooting starts next week.
