Useful site

Unfortunately I seem to have to do an awful lot of commuting this is why I find this web site MTR very useful for journey planning.

Sophisticated electronic teaching aids !

I have been using a sophisticated electronic teaching aid, OK well sort of, it is a plastic microphone that used to hold candies, the candies have long since disappeared as I disposed of them...8-).

I normally use this with kindies, however I have been using them with teenagers as well.  Maybe it is the theatrical prop that helps them overcome their shyness.  After speaking the speaker then has the option of selecting the next victim.  This seems to be popular with all, apart from the next victim.

These microphones can be purchased at a candy store for about 5 kwai (OK kwai =HKD).

Re: Web site development

So much for the web site developer.  Half the job was done and the web site is not completed.
So I have engaged another web site developer who, hopefully, will be able to finish off the web site. 
This time I think I will have buttons to provide a translation into traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.  Some of my clients do not speak much English at all.  I have noticed that having my own private students might not pay as much as the language centres but they are much easier to deal with.
