On-line English - ABC

Just a fun and simple video I put together for the kids at my school. All scenes were shot in the area around my home using family and friends. No letters were harmed in the making of this video (except X which remains cross to this day). :-)

what is it like teaching english? i've wanted to go to Japan since I was 8 and I'm almost finished with highschool and thinking about college and it's a career I've seriously been considering. Do you think I should go for it?

[softypapa]

Hello mariemonstre, Coming to Japan or any other country is a big step and one which will likely have a significant impact on the rest of your life. Japan is a safe and friendly place and I suspect that the experience would be a good one and for this reason I do recommend coming if you are still interested after college. Jobs are not hard to find after you have your degree and I think that you might like it here. Please let me know if you every have questions. -Kurt :-)

thank you for the advice, Kurt. I really appreciate it. I'll keep it in mind :)

Please let me know if you ever have questions. I'm always happy to help. :-)

I thought "v" was going to be "violet" for the color of the flowers on the bush. And that praying mantis really wanted to play!

Good video..thanks!

Hello reymiland, My wife said the same thing! This seems so obvious now though at the time it just didn't cross my mind. -Kurt :-)

P for phone could be a little confusing for them mate. Considering the phonics are an F sound, rather than P & also a silent letter in the word which annoys J peeps.

Apart from that, a very cool & funny at times video. Now seeya, I gotta jump out of here lol ; )

Hello MicknFumi, Thank you for pointing out the tricky nature of this one letter and for your tips on how it might be better taught. I will certainly remember to try and consider phonics application when teaching letters and sounds in the future. Thanks again! -Kurt :-)
