Thanks to Jo Gakonga I have discovered your hidden gem 💎 and gym (mentally speaking). I have never seen anything (and trust me I have seen thousands) like your website and RU-vid channel. As a teacher, I admire how you managed to create these fantastic resources that are extremely useful, systematic and designed to create independent and critical thinkers and learners. Awesome work Sheldon 👌🏾👍🏾🙌🏾! I am always complaining that most of the great materials and resources are coming from America 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦, so it’s fantastic to see a fellow Brit giving the world a world class educational materials. Personally, I believe English will be taught globally from infancy and the sooner the better. As the old BT ad said “it’s good to talk” and once the world talk, we will hopefully have more wealth and less poverty.

My summer break is coming up soon and I will have time to create a few more videos then. Good luck with the TOEFL! ✊

Hello, I think if the segments with blue background slow down and make it less coherent. They are bonuses that do not add but rather subtract value from your videos. To me, it would be much better without it. You still announce that you are moving on to a different part of the video so the main point of it would still be there without it.

Have you stopped from posting new informative videos?

@Eapfoundation Год назад

Not at all, though it has been way too long since the last one. I am a week away from my summer holiday and will work on some new videos then. Stay tuned!
