I just love this channel with cozy little audiobooks designed especially for English learners

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brAo5jOAj1g&t=182s I just love this channel with cozy little audiobooks designed especially for English learners. I used to visit it. Here's the B2+ story and a PowerPoint game from me to revise new vocab from the story. You could use it for yourself or in lessons with a group. One player has the words to make a question of them; another player answers it. For a pair or two teams. Oh, here's the instruction from the website games4esl.com. I take such ppt templates from there. Divide students into two teams; Team A and Team B. Then have one player from each team come to the front of the class to play Rock, Scissors, Paper to determine which team goes first...

✅spouse (C2) = a person's husband or wife As I watched my spouse cover his own glasses with mine, I murmured, "Stop thinking." The instant he awoke.😂 I've been super busy with a new project (soon I'll uncover it here), but I'm coming back to this blog too.

Today, I am determined not to repeat this mistake, so let's dive into the latest updates. I've been incredibly busy with my project’s website, and unfortunately, it has taken over my off-screen time. The Website Challenge I initially aimed to use the Gamma app not just for project presentations but also to create a website. Despite my efforts, I faced a SETBACK: my first advertiser declined my request because the site seemed too GENERIC, raising doubts about my project's authenticity. This experience forced me to reconsider my approach. Navigating the Sanctions The process of setting up a website for a project targeting a Russian audience has proven particularly challenging. Services like WordPress offer Russian language support and payment plans in rubles, yet I still couldn't make payments with Russian or virtual UnionPay cards. Rethinking the Website Necessity With these obstacles in mind, I concluded that it's possible to succeed without a traditional website. I discovered successful projects thriving SOLELY on social media platforms. For a Russian-speaking audience outside Russia, a website may not be crucial. Instead, focusing on a platform like a Telegram channel could be more effective. Transitioning to Telegram Tonight, in the quiet hours, I decided to pivot. A project I discovered was successful with just social media presence, particularly on Telegram. The platform offers numerous tools — such as links, working with text, and emojis — allowing it to function similarly to a website. Tomorrow, I plan to set up a Telegram channel to serve this purpose. Considerations for an International Audience For those targeting a Russian-speaking audience abroad, a website with a ".ru" domain might POSE access issues. Instead, consider alternatives like Telegram and VK, as these are popular among Russian expats. Thank you for joining me on this journey of adaptation and discovery. I'll share my Telegram channel once it's ready to SHOWCASE how effectively it can substitute a website. 😊 #english_vocab #english_b2_c1_c2
