Just a couple of videos I got from Youtube. Just a way to show other learners that it is possible to find a lot of interesting things online nowadays, and Youtube is a good source.

Kooyeen,

Those are pretty good little videos. I especially liked the alien! Good way for them to get someone's attention. I think these would be good for intermediate learners who have basics down first and now don't want to sound too awkward.

Hi Laura,
welcome to Englishforums. Smile

Yes, they might be good to make learners aware of some common forms in spoken English, but that's not enough. Learners who are serious about spoken English should check out an accent reduction course first. I just posted those videos because... the one with the alien was curious, and pointed out the importance of reductions in everyday English.... and the one by Jennifer was just an example of all the material you can find online. JenniferESL at youtube.com has made a lot of interesting videos you can watch for free, I just posted one.
And I remember seeing another guy who made several videos about learning English... I'll see if I can find him again.

Allowing embedded videos from youtube was maybe the most important improvement in this community. Lots of material to discuss and learn from. Or just good for a laugh. Wink
