Lesson 7 - The Alphabet - Learn English with Jennifer

[Flawhound]

The old school approach is fine. I know a good number of students who, despite the advantages of technology, still like to have a book in hand instead of constantly peering at a computer screen. It's also quite likely that they have no problem with the good old chalkboard. I'm sure Natasha's progress will inspire others to learn with her. Good luck to her as she learns in this way.

Jennifer: Thank you for your good work. I have added many of your videos to my channel, which features useful lessons by English teachers. I refer students of English, especially ESL and EFL students, to my channel, and I would like you to know how greatly I appreciate all your efforts to teach clearly and simply. Your series with Natasha is a boon for all beginners. Press on with your teaching. Many are being helped.

@Flawhound

Thank you for the encouragement. This format is different and a bit of a risk. In an age of impressive technology, we decided on an old school approach: teacher, student, and a chalkboard. We'll likely vary the setting a bit as we go on, but sometimes a simple, natural delivery makes the most sense. I really do hope others will be inspired by Natasha's efforts and start learning English with her. :)

This series is below you're level, but I'm glad you're following Natasha's progress. In another month or so the content will start to be a good review for more advanced students who still make small mistakes in their spoken and written speech. :)

Es verdaderamente admirable ver como está mujer tiene un ángel innato para enseñar.

Ojala, más gente tuviera la oportunidad de acceso a internet y aprender.

Thanks Jennifer

Everyone benefits. Natasha gets a teacher. I get a teaching challenge that will help me grow. Viewers can learn along with Natasha. :)

Curious video series. I actually wonder how does this kind of "immersion" method performs in comparison to a standard one where you get the actual word translation in your native language. Last just looks simpler and obvious but first seems to be more involving. Maybe combining these two will give perfect output.

@unruler

Good observation. You'll hear that I allow use of Russian when Natasha has a question and doesn't have enough English to make me understand her question. I respond in English and only use a little Russian for clarification when I feel it's necessary. I realize she doesn't understand all my words when I speak in sentences, but she understands my meaning and the main content is mastered. Little by little she'll understand me more and her questions will use more English. :)

Your lessons are helping me teach my 5 year old son pronounication and such. He used to have trouble with his R's and L's until we saw your videos together. You even helped me some. Thank you.

[JenniferESL]

@JesseJamesMami

Glad to hear this! My four-year-old has some difficulty articulating R's as well.

Best wishes to you both!
