Some delicious links for ESL teachers

By
As you know, I am also a certified ESL teacher. I love teaching children and adults. It gives me great pleasure to see their progress and to realise that I took part in their growth. And in October 2009 I started something completely new for me - teaching English through Skype. It's a totally new experience as I have to use some totally different methods in order to organize an effective teaching process.
Since I started teaching English through Skype I found some excellent links for both adults and kids. So I decided to share those resources with you and if you know of other interesting links I'd appreciate it if you shared them with me ;)
So here are the best links:
http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-games.htm - site for kids with different ESL games, stories, songs etc.
http://www.kiddierecords.com/2006/index.htm - lots of audio-books for children
http://www.anglomaniacy.pl/ - another great website for children, mainly with basic level of English
http://bogglesworldesl.com/kids_worksheets/index.htm - worksheets for young learners
http://esl.about.com/od/beginningenglish/ig/Basic-English/- one of my favourite websites
http://www.englishmedialab.com/vocabulary.html - lots of great topics and vocabulary
http://www.esl-lab.com/ - excellent website for adults
http://www.ted.com/themes/atoz - this website could be a great resource for students with at least an intermediate level of English
http://www.englishclub.com/learn-english.htm - a valuable resource that covers some topics that other websites don't even touch upon
http://www.teachchildrenesl.com/flashcards.htm - lots of great flashcards and other resources to use for traditional (I mean off-line) classes
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/verbtenseintro.html - sometimes I use this website when I'm short of grammar exercises
Hope somebody will also find these links helpful!

Translation Forum Russia 2017: my report

By
A few days ago I came back from Translation Forum Russia which took place in Ufa, Bashkortostan . My daughter Delia went with me because she never visited Ufa before (neither have I) and because of the trip to the Southern Ural mountains we planned to take after the conference with a small group of colleagues. Ufa is not considered one of the primary tourist attractions of Russia, though I am convinced now that it definitely should be. Some pictures of the city (not all of the pictures are mine, some were made by the official photographer of the conference Elena Ekaterininskaya, our company CEO Fedor Kondratovich and some other colleagues): The bee is a symbol of the region as Bashkortostan produces the best honey in Russia. We saw installations shown below in different parts of the city. There were still covered because of the cold weather, but they will be full of blooming flowers as soon as the warm weather comes. The bee as we saw it That's what it

By
I prepared this list for one of my English classes. And then it dawned on me that I can share it with you, too! So here are 15 facts about the English language that I find very interesting. Hope you do, too ;) Rudyard Kipling was fired as a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner. His dismissal letter said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the English language. This isn't a kindergarten for amateur writers." No language has more synonyms than English.

It’s keen to support the growing army of German to English translators, particularly those that are involved in literary translations. Is Literary Translation More Challenging Than Any Other Translation Task?
