  • It’s a great website to learn English, through English and about English, truly as it is publicized; I love this way of learning authentic English through listening and visualizing -it’s so impressive and innovative yet natural or even spontaneously. I’d like to recommend it to many of my students and tteaching colleauges. Thanks you. Maurice

  • Great! We are used to listening to standard English in many textbooks but this is a fantastic opportunity to show our students other accents. I would show them the video without sound as they read with their own accent and then I´d play the video again with sound so they notice the difference! That´s amazing!
