Apple must have a heck of a lot of people listening to podcasts on their site. The GE High School / Adults Podcast ( it seems more teachers are using it for high school rather than adult classes so that’s what I’m calling it until I think of a funky name), keeps getting more and more hits, but still hovers around the 50s in the iTunes chart. Today I actually heard of a blogger who uses the podcast to learn Japanese, which is quite funny really!

The number two podcast site might be interesting to some of your adult students, it’s a list of all the commonly used English phrases. Not overly genki, but very simple and free, I’ve been waiting for a site like that for ages:

I also got a request the other day for readers to be able to put their ideas and comments on each of the themes or games. So there’s now a comment form on each page, where you can send them in. I haven’t introduced a chart though ( which a few people have asked for), as what happens is the games/themes at the top keep getting voted for, and the ones at the bottom never get picked up on. There might be a way round that though, I’ll have a think.

Right, back to work on the current set of video games, and the announcement about the new video ipod should be out in a bit!

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
