Getting (self-)started with English lessons 1-2-3!
Hello mynglers,
Do you know the feeling of entering into a school and being intimidated by one of the teachers? Don’t you wish you could have just sat through a class without having to speak to anyone right away until you were finally comfortable? Now imagine walking into that class… in a different country, where few, if any, speak you language… You get the point, right?
Among the thousands of people that visit Myngle every day, there is a pool of them that is probably intimidated by learning live with a teacher online (VoIP, what?) or by the fact that everything is in English, Russian, Italian, German, French, Spanish, or Latvian, but not, say… Punjabi!
For these people and for everyone who wants to take the first few steps towards learning English, we have created three simple, but effective self-study videos based on the content of three lessons of the Myngle Programs, English Basic - A1 course. These videos are free for every Myngler to use and share.
If you are a teacher, maybe you can send the videos to some of the students that seems to really need to cross into the very basics of the English language. Or if you have already taught a couple of the lessons, you can share the videos as refreshers of the material already covered.
If you are a student and you have gotten this far into the the post without the need of a translator, then the videos are probably too easy for you. But if you are still using a translator, then this may be your opportunity to start your new learning path. Start on your own, at your own pace, get an idea of what some of the courses on Myngle look like, and then take your learning to another level by meeting your favorite teacher on the site.
We hope you enjoy this additional study tool.
We hope to add more of them in the future!
Stefan

Interesting. Could you explain in detail how these can be downloaded? I live in China where stuff like this can be useful but also a place where YouTube is cannot be accessed.

Hi all,
A good idea. It is difficult to attract learners who like to listen and not actively participate in group lessons, on a 1 to 1 basis. This is perfectly suited as an introduction for them to myngle.
