The sole motivation for providing these captions is to allow this video to be seen and enjoyed by a wider audience -- namely non-native English speakers and the hearing impaired, who might otherwise have difficulties in understanding all the dialogue and being able to follow along with the story.



A significant number of English learners are practicing English listening through captioned videos.

The World Health Organization estimates 278 million people worldwide have some form of hearing impairment.

A Nielsen study suggests that there has been over a 300 percent increase in online video watching since 2003. Further, most watching is done during work hours. Workplace computers are often muted or have no speakers.

Several billions of videos are watched monthly worldwide, with many of them in different languages.

22frames.com aggregates captioned videos from all over the web.

Kids Health in the Classroom

Some days ago I readed an article about computer translation programs giving confusing and incomplete instructions to Spanish-speaking people in the United States. They receive prescription instructions from the pharmacy so poorly translated that the medications are potentially hazardous to their health. Read the full article from businessweek.com here.

Talking to the Pharmacists to ask questions about medicines is very important to our kids and we must to know answers for educational purposes only:





In this page you can listen on the speakers about common problems with childhood medications and tips from the Pharmacist.

The Girl Effect

The Girl Effect is the powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

Adolescent girls are uniquely capable of raising the standard of living in the developing world.

Girls are the most likely agents of change, but they are often invisible to their societies and to our media.

When everyone -- girls, parents, teachers, executives, artists, hairdressers, forest rangers, rock stars, presidents, investors, advertisers, skateboarders, truckers, cowboys, organizations, chefs, teenagers -- knows about The Girl Effect, then real change can happen.

The Girl Effect site is just the beginning. The end is nothing less than ending poverty with CARE!

The main goal is fluency. Remember that you don't have to know many complex grammatical structures to achieve that goal! First of all try to speak as fluent as possible (even making some grammar mistakes). Then, after making your speaking fluent, you can focus on grammar aspects.

Of course the best way of practise are English conversations with other people. You can find some people who want to talk to you online on our website. We recommend to contact with other person using communicator which provides voice chat (like Skype). However, in case you don't have possibility to use such, it's better to practise by standard chatting than not practising at all.

Gypsy by Shakira

Broke my heart Down the road Spend the weekend Sewing the pieces back on Crayons and dolls pass me by Walking gets too boring When you learn how to fly Not the homecoming kind Take the top off And who knows what you might find Won't confess all my sins You can bet I'll try it But I can't always win [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a gypsy But are you coming with me? I might steal your clothes And wear them if they fit me I never made agreements Just like a gypsy And I won't back down 'Cause life's already hurt me And I won't cry I'm too young to die If you're gonna quit me 'Cause I'm a gypsy ('Cause I'm a gypsy)

WAR by the Father of the USA Constitution

James Madison was the fourth (1809–1817) President of the United States. He is traditionally regarded as the Father of the United States Constitution.

Letters and Other Writings of James Madison:

"Of all the enemies to public liberty WAR is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. WAR is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In WAR, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of WAR, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual WARFARE."

"Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined from abroad."

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
