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 Body Pictorial Vocabulary

Pictorial Vocabulary Guides from LanguageGuide.org

Learning the thousands of words needed to be comfortable in a language is a great challenge. The vocabulary guides are in essence virtual worlds. Users visit different parts of this world (i.e. insects, the family, the farm). They can then place their cursor over any of the images and hear their names pronounced and see them spelled out. In some pages, a notepad is displayed next to the title. Placing the cursor over this notepad will reveal a list of supplementary vocabulary .

English speaking tips:

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.
