Greetings on June 25, 2013.

In my personal blogs I am reviewing some articles about teaching English to children, especially by music. My English courses are usually for students ages eleven (11) and older. However, sometimes I get younger students or visitors. The insights and practical materials about English and music in the blog articles may help me a lot with these younger students. I especially like the book on nursery rhymes. I may try to use some of them.

I am also reading some blog articles on changes in the English language. I always run into a simpler kind of word usage with my students. My old favorite word "dialogue" is now, more often than not, written as "dialog." I used to go "travelling", but now it seems like everyone goes "traveling." I should not complain too much about these more recent changes; my generation also changed some of the the previous generation's words.

I shall keep you up to date on my personal teaching of English and related things. How are you doing with your use and teaching of English?

I am not the objective person to evaluate myself, what I am like, and how well do I teach. I am too subjective. However, I do feel that I do a decent job as a teacher. I can be more objective and tell you some of the things that potential and actual students have taught and in many cases continue to teach me. First, students have taught me how to install and use a few computer programs. In some cases I still continue to use those installed programs.  These programs can be roughly placed in ...

Three Questions and Answers about My Memorial Walks

 Welcome to my blog, whether you somehow got here directly or followed a message and link like the following:. THE FIRST MEMORIAL MARATHON WALK THE START, THE THREE LOOPS, AND THE FINISH OF THE MEMORIAL MARATHON WALK SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 27, 2021, LORD WILLING You may or may not have seen this personal tidbit about my getting ready to go out on my weekly, longer memorial walk, usually done now on Saturdays, “My weekly long walk planned for February 27, 2021 ended up being a literal marathon, taking place from 4:59 a.m.- 12:43 p.m. on that day. I woke up early, which means “before 4 a.m.,” and I could not go back to sleep.
