I was helping a friend set up a new website the other day “かわいい仔猫” (cute kitten), where she puts up a picture of a super cute kitten everyday. Now I don’t really see the attraction of cute kittens at all, but to see some people’s almost hysterical reaction I just knew it was something you could use for teaching English!

As it happens there is a “Learn English with Cute Cats” website that has captions for the writer’s pet.

What I was thinking you could do would be to show the kids the かわいい仔猫 site and get them to come up with their own original English captions. The fact that it isn’t in English is probably even better for students in other countries as they just have to go by the pictures. I have a feeling it could be a very popular lesson!

Oh and if you do happen to like kittens then please leave a comment over on my friend’s site, I’m sure she’d appreciate it!
