Brandon's Bite-Sized Languages

Hey Language Learners, if you haven't checked out what's on the channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwKNVfTHhUTaYh560gJAo4A Here's something I'm trying out, a series on stories. I'll be releasing stories for people to listen to in the various languages I'm teaching. Here is the first story in Spanish about Nicole and her father the baker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnPjySDA9lU This first story is for beginners. It has the basic structures and some words we have be...en using in the Spanish beginners classes. They're limited in vocabulary but you can still tell an intriguing story as you can see in the video. Trancript and translation are available in the video description. Tell me what you think about it in the comments.

TPRS and video gaming are very closely connected... I was a hardcore gamer when I was little and I think many of our current students from elementary school to university would fit the same profile. We gamers truly do a lot of work when we play games but we see it as play. We are virtual explorers and we do lots of calculations and recognitions in our head which is why I am so happy with TPRS because it allows me to create a safe environment to generate and have people apply ...language problems. However, TPRS can feel lackluster if it is not scaffolded correctly or the story is not relatable. Here is a video on how we are bridging the gap between the mobile technology generation and our language teaching. 1) 2018, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_uH-C5MZRA 2) sequel to the video, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_uH-C5MZRA I still am a hardcore gamer, but now I'm a game level designer with my TPRS lessons.
