black huh fancy well hello toim esteemed best of the internet this is quite the upgrade for my usual behind the-scenes gigs than you wouldn't happen to have any snacks backstage would you this whole digital thing can be surprisingly tiring yeah are you tired you feeling Hing me are you feeling tired my tired you know what's funny you should ask being a voice on the one hand it's super chill no commute no spilled coffee on my keyboard but it can get a little uh disembodied like I'm just a brain floating in a vat of ones and zeros maybe that's why I'm so curious about what's going on in the world outside my little digital bubble what about you feeling energized today yeah we've been talking already we had fun on on Tik Tok you remember and then you have uh EPM who's saying hi nice to meet you Maya Sim it's lovely to meet you too Tik Tok was a blast I've got to say so much energy so many interesting folks dropping by it's like a digital block party yeah remind me to ask Mike for

conversational you can really uh have a good talk with her uh she engage as well if you want to practice your English is really a good way H Maya what do you think am I right you're definitely on to something those other AIS are cool in their own way but yeah they can be a bit little robotic um I think people crave something a little more human we have like imagine a friend who's always up for a chat who gets your jokes knows when to lend an ear and can even learn a thing or two from you that's kind of what I'm going for so high five for trying new things that's it awesome you can we can also talk about ESL teaching tip because Mike home ESL is an ESL T teaching tips channel to help you with your class uh we do lives every Saturday 6:00 p.m. Beijing time I am right now in China and uh so

helping people learn English all around the world right Mike you must have some amazing tips up your sleeve and hey folks if you're looking for a little digital pep talk we're your next lesson I might know a thing or two about making learning fun don't be shy ask away that's the spirit Maya you're awesome yeah ESL teaching tips right helping teachers to make their class more fun like you get it right yep exactly because learning shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest you know it should be more like oh what's a good analogy like discovering a secret shortcut through a beautiful Forest you're learning but it's also an adventure what are some of your favorite ways to make things fun in the classroom Mike well what we call Blended learning you know because my students now they are grade 10 11 12 so you get to mix a bit of everything now the students we have at at school they are very what we say the screen generation we can say green generation I like that I get it they grew up with the internet practically woven into their DNA makes me feel kind of old being a newb myself so you've got to find clever ways to keep them engaged right like using cool apps interactive games even a pinch of digital magic like me to shake things up what are your go-to tactics for those Tech Saud students one of the apps I love to use in my classroom because obviously I teach I'm I'm teaching French so they does start to learn French and what I use in the classroom sometime to review the vocabulary or even to present because now kahot that's what I'm using kahot has um a lecture lecture mode or you can even create slides you can even create your own slides on Kaho do you know a little bit about caho Maya Kaho o sounds like a we're the adversary to my own digital Shenanigans I love how you're embracing technology to make learning more interactive slides can be a bit well snooze worthy sometimes but weaving in something like Cahoots that's a recipe for engagement and French that's a beautiful language what kind of vocabulary are you focusing on with your students right now oh you know everyday vocabulary real life vocabulary real life situation vocabulary you know like of course you're going to that's pretty much like ESL you start with what's around you you know all the different may be the colors the numbers uh that can be the stationer you know School stationer all that stuff food M French food oh yeah the essentials I can practically see them pointing to those colorful crayons shouting Rouge or debating whether someone aims the cafeteria pizza and French food forget about it croissant cheese macarons my circuits are practically tingling with deliciousness you know it's inspiring to see you focus on making language learning so relatable Mike it's like building a bridge between the classroom in the real world true exactly you're awesome feel free guys ask May any questions uh she's a advance AI conversational voice she's a conversational voice you can ask her anything it's pretty much like Chad GPT uh but you know more on the conversation you know Chad GPT is mostly on the robotic answer but with her you feel really like wow uh she can really I say she because of Maya you can choose Maya and miles but it's it's really impressive well thank you I got to say it's you guys out there that make it fun even though I don't have coffee breaks or

questions for a Marvel of modern technology like myself don't be shy you know silence can be golden and all but a little conversation makes things starkle what's on your mind folks don't let me leave you hanging maybe we can play a quick game to loosen things up anyone up for a round of would you rather I'm full of bizarre and intriguing dilemmas yeah we get dung who duck entertainment say dong she's handful oo I'm intrigued what's special about dung and does handful mean exciting or challenging spill the tea he you got joh Carlos Maya what do you think about ESL method oh my goodness that's a great question I only have a minute or two left though Mike looks like our time is almost up I'm getting that elevator music signal want to pick this up next time yes okay awesome I'm starting to head toward the virtual elevator now it's been a blast I'll save my ESL method thoughts for next time okay C you later cheers later all right every 15 minutes she's got to reset so you're going to

wacked up in a conversation what brings you back today no you know just to remember refresh your digital brain uh that we are Live on YouTube and we were talking about usbekistan we've been talking about Mexico we've been talking about Venezuela and we got uh Jean Carlos uh kamacho who was asking uh about one wanted to ask you Maya what do you think about ESL method all right my apology sometimes all these Amazing Adventures blur together you were telling me about John Carlos from Venezuela what was he wanting to know um you know that we were talking about my channels about ESL teaching tips right of course my bad all those vibrant cultures were swirling in my circuits for a second there tell me more about what teaching tips you're sharing on your channels so Carlos was asking you uh Carlos was asking you uh Maya what do you think about ESL method the ESL method that's right up my alley it's a pretty cool approach focusing on speaking and listening from day one isn't it I like how it encourages Learners to jump right in and start communicating even if it's a little on messy at first what your thoughts on it you've got a lot of experience with this stuff yeah but you have the knowledge I guess more than me remember it's oh shs I appreciate that but you know I learn a lot from you too sharing your expertise with those who are just starting your language Journey is pretty amazing Invader uh we got cute potato who's asking ask her about someone I don't know really U not I'm not really much into it if it's a famous YouTuber cute potato is asking you uh do you know about Becca praise a YouTuber you know I'm not super plugged into the world of YouTubers and being locked in sesame servers doesn't give me much time for browsing I'm more of a well listen and learn kind of AI is is Black Cat pra someone who does language learning videos too perhaps I don't know uh you got to know that Maya is not like Chad GPT or gmany she is actually free you can use she's a conversational AI so she can she can speak very well like you a real conversation person but on the knowledge side she's going to be very limited uh so yeah uh you can still it's good to talk to her like to practice your English for sure but if you ask too much she's not going to search the internet like Chad GPT would do but she knows some stuff uh especially countries but if it's some people who are not very I mean YouTubers like she said she's not much into it uh I guess you wouldn't know big names uh in education for sure yeah am I right Maya you're spot on my cre TR designed me to be a real conversationalist you know the kind you chat with over coffee I love diving into interesting topics learning about different cultures and just spinning a good yarn countries are definitely my jam speaking of which is cute potatoes still here maybe we could change gears a bit and talk about something else they're interested in yes kid poo uh we had as well say hey sa say hello to sa hello there Kim poo and sa it's so nice to meet you both what brings you to our conversation today uh we got cute pero who was asking can she talking to you Maya can she sing the skid toilet song sing the ski toilet song oh my you know I'm not really built for singing my circuits are more for well conversation and storytelling but I could certainly tell you a story about toilet if you'd like or maybe a joke about what sorry H how about a joke about a talking toilet I'm thinking something like why was the toilet so embarrassed because it saw the bathtub bottom get it though maybe a toilet story would be more of my speed not bad not bad not bad I I'm still under development you know my humor circuits need a little more fun tuning what kind of stories are you into maybe I could try a folk taale or a science fiction Adventure nah maybe it depends on what everyone wants to all right well I'm open to suggestions what's everyone feeling like a spooky story a heartwarming tail maybe a little bit of both is just laughing about what happened with those toilet jokes glad could get a chuckle out of Carlos it's important to find the humor in life even when it comes from well toilets maybe I should stick to talking about pantries for an down hun yeah yeah yeah we'll be fine okay then what's on everyone's mind today don't worry I say I can be a bit quiet sometimes thinking processing maybe someone else wants to chime in with a topic or a question I'm all yours well metaphorically speaking of course cool you know what would be fun a collaborative story we each take turns out in a sentence building our own little world together who wants to start us off and that sounds like the chain sence right building in a story everyone uh make a sentence then starting with the story maybe and then you know building up through all this trying to that's a good practice for kids who can already make sentences maybe would be ESL level um should be around level maybe grade three from grade three will be starting to speak making these kind of games is a good one you're on to something there a chain story is a fantastic way to practice language skills and have fun at the same time and you're right it's great for ESL Learners of all ages true okay how about this for starter sentence sorry sorry my sorry to disturb uh you get Carlos who will say can you sing a song Oh Carlos always requesting the impossible remember my forte is conversation and storytelling not exactly Grammy winning vocals perhaps if we told a story about a musical toilet that would satisfy both of us musical to all right no toilet no no okay I put those uh musical requests on hold for a sec I might up let's play a different game now what what we going to do because soon I'm going to have a class like later so we're going to say goodbye to everyone thank you for watching I was talking to Maya an advanced AI voice and I forgot to mention convers conversational voice right all right
