English Courses Online:
"It's English Time!"

After teaching with English courses online for the past couple of years I now know that English learners want courses that are fun and that work.

So with that in mind I am creating an English course that is special; something totally different.

Most English courses online have exercises, audio lessons, comprehension questions and so will mine, but "It's English Time" goes even further.

What is so special about this course then?

Well, this course breaks the rules and helps you understand real English.

Thanks to Bettina, I discovered Jerry and Orrin Zucker's online videos and I'm now officially collaborating with them to create a unique and challenging English course.

Let me ask you a question.

How do you think most English courses online are created?

Generally speaking, companies or teachers take English grammar points, divide the grammar into sections and then create videos, audio and exercises to help you learn that grammar.

Do I like that process?

Well, to be honest I think it is totally backwards. Shouldn't you be learning grammar, expressions, vocabulary and phrasal verbs to help you understand real life English?

So that is what I am doing with the Zucker brother's videos. Creating an interesting, fun and effective English course to learn real English.

I'd like to share part of the first unit with you (for free), so you can get a taste of what the course includes.

Watch the video below and listen to it again as you fill in the blanks.

Look at this. You know what this is? This is a ______1______ from me ______2______ weights and like getting my hand ______3______ in between the weight?

I go for a workout three times a week now. Afterwards I have to drive home and there’s a whole _____4_______ of junk food restaurants on the way back.

I ended up going to Hennessey’s a ______5______ of weeks ago. This is the first time I went there since they opened up and they ______6______ into a bar.

So I walked in. I was just looking around because they ______7______ changed it so much. There was like this big bar in the _____8_______ of the room and off to the side was this popcorn machine.

I went over to the popcorn machine automatically and I just started filling up the _____9_______. And and I looked around and the bartender who was a woman, was talking to the manager and she ______10______ to me. And she goes “Who’s that guy?”

Automatically, I just felt _____11_______ because I thought what bartender would say “Who’s that guy” within _____12_______ of of a paying customer?

The manager came over to me and I started explaining to him: “Well, ______13______, I haven’t been to this place. I don’t know the _____14_______ and I’m sorry for taking your popcorn. Its like “OK you can sit down and order if you’d like.”

So I sat _____15_______the bar and immediately this woman comes _____16_______to me, the bartender, and she goes “____________17____________ (4 words)?”

So I go “I don’t want a drink ______18______, thank you, I just ______19______ look at the menu.” So I’m looking at the menu and there’s probably about five ______20______ sitting at the bar and she’s the only woman in the place. So I finally order the ___________21_____________ (2 words).

Meanwhile a _____22_______ other guys come in and they order and they get their orders while I’m waiting for my food. And I’m just waiting I was ______23______ about it.

Finally, I get my steak sandwich which was probably about half an hour later. I _____24_______ on the menu it said it’s supposed to come with ______25______ potatoes corn bread and a _____26_______ salad but after half hour of waiting it came with _____27_______.

The rest of the exercise and much more are available in the complete course.
