Hello everyone, James Abell here! 👋
Long time no post – but I’m back with something I’d love your input on!
With years of teaching experience (both online and in person) and my CELTA certification, I’m thinking of hosting live conversational Zoom classes:

⏱️ 1.5 hours max
👥 Small groups (7 people)

🗓️ Once or twice a week

Each session will be themed with engaging activities and will be designed to increase your English conversational skills with me as the host.

Would you join?
I’m planning a FREE trial session to test it out!

Drop a comment below if you’re interested!
👉 Best day/time?
👉 Once or twice weekly?

Your thoughts will decide if this happens! Would you like to take part in the free session? 😊

Can anyone name this lovely loch where I swam today?

In Scotland lakes are usually called Lochs. The CH is soft it is not a K. Listen to this -https://www.macmillandictionary.com/pronunciation/british/loch

The first pronunciation is the Scottish way. The second is how most English people pronounce it. I have an English accent but I am more Scottish than English so I know how to pronounce it properly! :)

From the BBC how the Coronavirus is effecting cities around the world. Very strange to see New York very empty in this video, It is my favourite city to visit.

As well as being informative. This video is great for you to learn some more vocabulary. So at least you can take something positive from this!

"Bat Attack"? In my town? Be careful, sometimes words mean different things in English. In this case, a bat is for sport, ie baseball. Unfortunately, someone was using it for violence. However, at least the flying animals we call bats are not attacking humans now! 🤣
