Hi all.

I laughed out loud when I read this review. I hope you do too.

“Gift voucher” is very useful vocabulary for Christmas. On Wikipedia I noted they are also known as gift certificates or gift cards. Gift coupon is also possible. The Chinese word for these things is 礼券.

Getting one of these is a very nice gesture for any English teacher. It is also a sure way of supporting a shop in which you have received good service, but don’t know what in the shop you should purchase. Also, it reduces the risk of unwanted gifts considerably, which will probably end up on Ebay sometime.

There are two great youtube channels out there (by the same guy, Robert Nichol). They are full of music and learning material:

justaudio2008
learnfree2007

Robert recently helped me out immensely by making a video of the Roman numerals I-XII for Asher - all the numerals needed to tell the time. This is it here:

Fry and Laurie on linguistics.

OK, here’s two funny websites I found recently:

I hope to gradually build a bit of a list of such uplifting websites. If you can suggest any, please comment.
