Hello everyone, James Abell here! π
Long time no post β but Iβm back with something Iβd love your input on!
With years of teaching experience (both online and in person) and my CELTA certification, Iβm thinking of hosting live conversational Zoom classes:
β±οΈ 1.5 hours max
π₯ Small groups (7 people)
ποΈ 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?
Iβm planning a FREE trial session to test it out!
Drop a comment below if youβre interested!
π Best day/time?
π Once or twice weekly?
Your thoughts will decide if this happens! Would you like to take part in the free session? π

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.

"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! π€£
