Skype Lesson

Note: At the moment, this lesson is for adults only, but I plan to make a children's version of it sometime in the future.

Watching YouTube videos, TED Talks and so on are an excellent way to improve your listening skills because they give you a chance to listen to many different speakers with various accents. They also help you to expand your vocabulary and pick up new expressions that native speakers use in their daily life.

During the lesson, you will have a chance to (1) answer questions about the video / recording and (2) share your own ideas about the topic. For example:

TedTalks - Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days
https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days

Some example questions:

1) Does the speaker say that time passes more quickly or slowly when you do the 30-day challenge? Why does he think so?

2) What 30-day challenge would you like to add to or subtract from your life?

We can use the video above for your first lesson. After that, it's best if you choose a video / recording that you want to discuss and send it to me prior to the lesson.

One more thing. While we are discussing the topic, I will be taking notes on your vocabulary and grammar to include in the feedback after the lesson.

I look forward to having some good discussions with you and helping you to improve your fluency and confidence!
