Due to popular request, here is a short video which teaches you how to add a link in a blog comment. It is very easy. You simply add the code for “go to this website” by hand. Watch the video, and soon you will be adding cool-looking links like a professional.
Here is a short video with my commentary about Keat’s poem “Ode to Autumn“. It includes some photos to help the reader get an idea of what England looks like, and what Keats had in mind when he used certain words. Thanks again for all your wonderful comments. You inspire me to do more!

(This article reminds me that Winchester is where Jane Austen is buried, and that her home in Hampshire is 30 minutes’ drive away from Winchester. See this article for more information.)

As feedback has been so positive, and because these videos are quite easy to make, and because listening and reading at the same time is most effective for language learning, here is another one.
I am also working on “commentary” videos, which will be, well, comments on the poem (!), with some pictures.

Thanks for the feedback. Here some more videos of me reading aloud the poems we read at the last session.
First, “Anthem for Doomed Youth” by the famous World War I poet, Wilfrid Owen. My grandfather fought in this war as a young man. He survived. Later, he fought in the 2nd World War, too, and survived that as well, but he never spoke to me about it.
Listen and read at the same time. The best kind of language practice, if you want to improve your speaking and listening.
Please leave a comment to help me improve this service.
