B2 – Don’t touch my dog, please!
It doesn't matter where you are from, almost everyone has some kind of feeling towards dogs. Some may love them, some may hate them, but the majority will agree - never pet a dog without the consent of an owner. It may seem strange, but this topic has come up in my lessons more than… Continue reading B2 – Don’t touch my dog, please!
C1 – Synesthesia (guided listening)

For a change, I structured myself and created a list of… Continue reading B1/B2 – Introduction to Job Interviews
B1 – How to start a vegetable garden? (imperatives)
Spring is already here, and what comes with it - gardening. Even if not everyone is crazy about this activity, why not take this opportunity and show how to begin this hobby?

C1 Listening – Spaghetti Harvest
In times of information overload, it can be challenging to distinguish between real and fake news. Many could argue that fake news made people more sceptical and so a bit harder to prank on April Fools' Day. Look at some epic April Fools' pranks and put students' fake news detectors to the test by spotting… Continue reading C1 Listening – Spaghetti Harvest
