Overkill in advertising

This ad is great. It's humorous, it's short, it has a clear message, and because not a single word is spoken in the vid, it probably reaches a lot of people who cannot speak English.




The only problem is that when I actually googled the school that had the ad put on youtube, I couldn't find their webpage on the first five pages of the google search. The video and the sites that linked to it simply pushed it off to oblivion. Or did something happen to them? Who knows? Anyway, the ad is still perfect.

Learn English with songs

If you like songs and you would like to improve your listening skills this site is well worth checking out:

 http://www.lyricstraining.com/

Choose a song and select your level (beginner, intermediate, expert) and start listening to the song. The higher the level, the more gaps there are to fill in. If you don't know a word, the track stops until you have typed in the solution. If you register you can also compete with other members on the same level. Have fun!

One day lad all this will be yours

When somebody comes with the good old: "One day..." threat, I always remember this scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And the next scene with the guards is just a perfect model of typical human behaviour.



You can read the script of the dialogue here.

By the way, this is my 100th entry on this blog so...
