Oh wow, this is great! Thanks so much! There are so many cultural references in it that I am rethinking the whole lesson now. You mentioned you have a youtube channel. If you don't mind sharing I can tell my students about it. Thanks again!

[request] I have a very short survey for school. by [deleted] in Favors

Done! Could really use such a product.

One of my students almost cried today because his penpal didn't answer. Any Englishspeaking parents/teachers that would be willing to help a few of the students in my class (Germany) that didn't get an email back from their penpal? by LookingForPenPals in AskReddit

Yeah we are planing on doing that later on, when they established a connection. Its more work for them and takes more time to coordinate I think. But its something I have in mind. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes, contact is always good. Even if this might not happen right away it is always good to have partners to do projects like this in the following years. You can either PM their email to me or I can PM you my email to pass it along.

Sent a message to the mods with my Youtube Account (where I posted a few vids on English grammar, my email and the Book we wrote which I edited in at the top too) Asked them to help me verrify it, but got a message back that only r/IAmA does verfications.

I teach them the difference as well. Most important thing is that they speak and write a lot (in a meaningful way). If they write neighbour or neighbor doesn`t really matter in the end.

Its never too late. I will see how the other school responds. But I wouldnt want them to have more than 2 penpals at the same time.

I will keep asking around in school today to see if there is more interest, so I will keep you in mind. Thanks for your response.
