ReplyDeleteGreat review, Vanessa! I also enjoyed watching their video. As you said, they keep updating their contents. I think the biggest merit of this site is that we can learn both American English and British English. 🙂 I guess it is worth watching their clips while waiting for a bus or a friend. But I can't understand the limitation you wrote. What does it mean specifically?
ReplyDeleteyep! It can help us know the differences between British English and American English! As for the limitation, I mean if students are not intrinsically motivated to study English, maybe any kind of tools cannot arouse their interests. What do you think? ^_^
DeleteHello, Vanessa. I love the warm and lovely way you introduce a tool to the audience. It is a easy tool to operate, and I think English beginners can also find the knowledge they need by watching these interesting short videos. The tool is easy but you have explored it in detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind and warm comment!!
DeleteHi Vanessa haha! I love your post! These pictures help me to know this tool directly! The whole post is well- organized and very clear for me to follow your steps. I noticed you introduced several limitations. As a teacher, we need to think about the advantages and disadvantages of each teaching tool. Thanks a lot for sharing!
