I interview people in the street in order to get original, spontaneous speech on camera. Then I take this very messy spontaneity and organize it according to structures and functions for beginners and intermediate students, and finally, create online lessons around these videos.
I detest the idea of promoting my site (it's a waste of time, I could be making new and better lessons right now, I think to myself, and besides, I'm not very fond of salesmen), but what's the point in devoting your life to a site if so few people see it and use it? Hence this message, and a full day of this type of work...
I hope ESL / EFL students / teachers who read this post have time to click on one of the links to my most recent work, at

Best wishes,

This looks like a great site but the videos are down.

You will be more than welcome to promote your site on this Thailand TESOL forum. It will also help your SEO. You can add a suitable logo as your avatar, and a .gif screen schot of one of your lessons as a taster.
I offer any information or advice 'as is' and hope that it has been of help. I am not an admin of this board, and my postings do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the board management.
