32 Video Content Z-A
Videos are a popular tool for learning and education, and many lessons now include a video component to help students better understand the material. These videos can take many forms, from animated explanations to recorded lectures, and can be found in a variety of subjects, such as math, science, language, and history. Videos are a particularly useful tool for visual learners, as they can help explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Additionally, videos can be paused and replayed, allowing students to review material at their own pace. With the growing importance of technology in education, incorporating video components into lessons has become an effective way to engage students and enhance learning.

Decomposing - English Joke
The British English vocabulary included in the exercises in the Britlish library includes deactivate, debrief, debug, decommission, decompile, decompose, decompress, deforestation, demoralize, demystify, denature, and desaturate. English humour can be difficult for non-native English speakers. This is why simple English jokes are a very good way of teaching vocabulary, and why I’ve chosen a very simple joke for this lesson. The joke goes: Good heavens! When you stand here next to Beethoven’s grave, you can almost hear his music, only it seems to be playing backwards. What on ...
Commas - Punctuation for Students
Oscar Wilde, a great British writer, once admitted to spending an entire morning removing a comma from a poem. Asked if that was all he had done, Wilde replied, By no means: on mature reflection, I put back the comma. If a great writer like Oscar Wilde had difficulty in deciding where and when to use a comma, what chance have the rest of us got? In this lesson I will teach you about the history of the comma and about how to use it. You will learn about clauses, ambiguity, the Oxford comma, question tags, coordinating conjunctions, coordinate adjectives, dates, and more. Do ...
Colour Idioms
Idioms are expressions that are natural to native English speakers. They are very confusing for non-native English speakers. They're confusing because idioms don't mean what the words say. You cannot literally translate English idioms into another language. For example: A black mark has a literal meaning of a black mark on clothing or any other material. It also has a non-literal meaning of a record of something bad you have done. This lesson uses a video English lesson about colour idioms which I made in 2010, and which has been very popular on YouTube. ...
