Youtube for TEFLers May 2009
Were the Nazis grammar nazis?- Downfall of Grammar (genius!)
Japanese computer program (?) teaches vocabulary in context
trailer for the documentary Mad About English
complilation of Engrish signs (mainly from the classic www.Engrish.com, but easier to watch as a video)
More Bad Grammar- The Way I Are parody
And there is also lots of useful stuff to show you how to teach English, but you can easily find that stuff for yourself with a search on Youtube I’m sure. Otherwise, have a look at my links page for some more serious vids for TEFLers or TED.com for TEFLers and linguists

PHONE ME and you will know the TRUTH.

Looks like Paul has gone off the deep end again — how sad. I would think with his court case coming up soon, that he would have better things to do with his time… Time to repent, offer some compensation and start anew. Please get some counseling…
