fun there are many ways to teach grammar of course and but you have to find a fun way to to teach them pretty much you can find I did one game where where it's about grammar where it's it's I'm not sure yeah I will I will let you know with those online courses I will give you more gains especially about grammar and how to why not using more because lots of teachers trying to avoid teaching grammar but and sometimes myself too because I know it's difficult to explain - Pete - kids who are like 6 to 7 years old and I'm not skilled enough sometimes to explain them in Chinese so because my students are Chinese so sometimes the grammar can be when the grammar is difficult so it's difficult for me as well to explain so yeah that was that was Ida who was asking about grammar Thanks oops hi

even YouTube is fine or Facebook as well I'm not sure we can check it out right after that and why not do a live all together it's will be more interesting I guess hi Maya do you use 5g Internet Marco Polo no thanks for being in a chat no I'm not using 5g yet not using it yet but it's working some people do use it in China the 5g is really safe but back in Europe war or America no it's terrible sorry as I have to wipe my glasses yeah so yeah 5 Jean the countries who are not gonna work with China on 5g they are gonna be the losers so Britain is one of them well I think but yeah it's pretty much for sure they've been working on this one since a long time and now China has you know like my father when he came my father and my mother when they were here when I arrived in 2002 and then the last time the King that was in 2017 so when they came in 2002 they say wow China is still developing there are a little bit behind us and when they come when they came back in 2017 they said Wow and China is ahead of us many things are really more convenient and you can see for all the frames we've been living in China and not none doing whatever politics you think I'm doing no no no no this is real life everydays life you know with my phone I just buying to to apples with my phone so or two bananas so there I can take the bus take the taxi only with my phone don't need to have money on me

something is happening to your internet and stable at the moment yeah need to change your VPN providing stuff it helped me with that if you get a really good VPN but you know having a good DPN will go well firstly you know in China I mean everybody's housing year any in China it's really difficult to have a good good internet so yeah I would love to to know what you recovered especially if you are in China what you're using I've been don't tell me expressvpn don't tell me Nord VPN no no those guys not work they work very well when nothing happened in the countries but with that corner virus and even before when you get officials when officials have meetings very important meetings in the country I've been staying two weeks with expressvpn I've been staying two weeks without a VPN there have been of course in me after two days is not possible even 24 hours I'm on I'm on my VPN all the time so the first 24 hours I said Wow I can't I can go I always have another VPN of course I get I'm using to 2 or 3 VPNs when you're do when you're you doing you know it's very important to keep up you to be constant on your YouTube channel so you get at least have to download one video per week so I had to have a good VPN then I left expressvpn have been using the expressvpn for seven years you can imagine and before when things happen like that they would all sorry we we will give you another free month and at that time this they did nothing no free stuff nothing so that was I was really upset even if I I was saying hey guys I've been here seven years and then yeah my baby no you cannot go like this you cannot enter like this oh my god she is crazy yeah I'm coming back wait you she's about to go to bed so yeah well speaking all the time is really hot here in China especially when you get it aligned to new mm-hmm make sure to check out Instagram tomorrow or probably my Facebook tomorrow so you might my little set up live set up is gonna scare you believe me yeah thanks all of you yeah yeah what what can what we can do now it's that you we gonna do a reverse Q&A okay so yeah let's do that reverse cue and hey okay we're gonna do a reverse Q&A that means that I'm asking you a question I'm asking you a question and you trying to answer okay so let's see about this question let me yeah get ready yeah like the question I tried last time and that was nice here is the question Reavers Q&A so what are your fears when teaching and that's very important to me to everybody as well it's very important to know what are your fears when teaching when going to class whatever you are online or online teacher or classroom teacher just let me know what are your fears when it comes to teaching or before teaching well in all the teaching process so let me know you that would be good that you can answer you can just write answer and then we'll be good well where that's we're 12 on there live there are not too much people but think about what are your fears when teaching the fears that I have till today for me I'm gonna answer first for you to have time to think about it when I have when I have a class like every day class was not really a fear I don't feel that much but it's like there's no electricity so you got to go back to pure teaching you know it's not go back to pure teaching but you know now we used to we use the digital board a little bit more and it's great sometimes for to play key to play games with kids so yeah when you don't have that power when there's no current yeah yeah yeah I feel a bit scared because when you get 55 kids in the classroom you're gonna find well I always have a bad plan a in my in my hand but yeah probably one of my biggest fear would be like do not having using all my plan B C or D you know when you do a class using all the necessary it's when it comes to kids that I can't figure it out how to make him speak you know sometimes it's one of my biggest fear not being able to make this student speak because we I have some students at home day and sometimes I used to have one who she wasn't speaking at all [Music] say come on now yeah I got pissed I get I try to give her her stuff I gotta this and that good no never work so that was really hmm terrible so yeah my fear is when young learners start crying and ta do not want to do yeah that's a good one that's a good one al Bert Bert itch yeah you will you will find this sometimes it's really funny it happens to me as well I had one kid in the classroom start crying like crazy and my tiing started to come for him and she couldn't she couldn't do anything he was still crying sorry I said all right let me let me comfort him and then I try to comfort him and yeah he was fitting better right away and so that that all depends you know sometimes you say - I say to my ta you go go on teaching the kids I'm just gonna care about the this kid for a while and she wouldn't say no she can't say no I'm the boss when I'm in the classroom that's me who decided when everybody has to do so in the classroom when other if I am a TA is the same when I go to someone someone else class I'm watching his class I'm pretty much watching but I'm also a TA helping him getting the kids quiet but him or her but he is the boss or she's the boss if she tells me go out I'll go out you know or do this or do that I'll do this I'll do it as well for me but yeah so I went to cuff up the kids and the kids went yeah all right it was better I took out one of my stickers and he because my TA didn't have the her stickers so sometimes it can help I don't like to be with stickers all the time you know spoiled keys all the time I don't like that but sometimes it be really a good idea all the fears guys so that you can let me know about your fears I'm gonna drink a little bit before we can put it a little bit of music huh I get a fear it out sometimes like where how can I put some music and stuff I'm new to that to that stuff yeah let's have a little bit of fun [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] a bit of music so let me know about what are your fears when teaching I'm gonna check out in the in the live tell me tell me tell me yeah we have that that light over there you know the right behind that Mike's home so you get alright if I didn't prepare a good lesson plan I feel scared yeah I don't don't I feel fear I'm scared yeah yeah you can say I'm fear of do not having a lesson plan so that's that's all about that's your phone if you don't have a lesson plan and you get a that's your fault huh my yeah I can understand that sometime it's it's not free if you don't have a lesson plan it's that if there's something wrong in the lesson plan because every time you're gonna go teaching sometimes the lesson plan you've prepared is gonna be different from what's gonna happen in the classroom right so it doesn't matter every plan every lesson plan is the same for everybody is the same for me too when I plan to do this or do that yeah next class I would do it better the third class you know I have to teach 10 class I have to teach ten classes a week and twice so what and they all those tend those classes are all great ones why tomorrow I will have five classes and all those classes that will teach the same so imagine the first time I have been giving this class compared to the last class the last class is gonna be better because you've been trying many things out and you with different glasses and so you will know with what's the best way to teach and as well you know your students are different from a class to another so yeah you have to adapt yourself to your students level even if there are old primary school students you always have to adjust a little bit and probably for this class you will have to practice more the new the new the key sentences and for another class is going to be the words probably or the grammar you know so yeah it hold depends in fact I guess the line must be not really good but I think it's okay all right you I get no idea well guys you can't let me know about that question what are your fears when teaching ooh connection isn't that good all right so yeah what I wanted to tell you as well yeah many of you here in the in the chat told me like hey Mike can I can I learn more stuff with you and then that's why it's not because of me I wanted to do that is pretty much me a lot of my subscribers a lot of you have been asking me hey Mike and do you have online courses I wasn't sure what was unlike all so I was like no no I don't teach online and he and say no no no no do you train teachers online and I said that was a year ago almost yeah and I say no no and say why didn't you do that and I've been thinking about it and well someone just pushed me to do a little to do this but you pushed me as well because more and more people were asking and then you know this I have been talking about him since the beginning his name is Pat Slane he's doing really awesome he's giving his he's helping was not giving yeah he's giving his he's giving his experiencing podcast in marketing especially how to to design your website to design your YouTube channel to design your Facebook or
