"Do you blog?" my friend Angie asked me one day. I met her in the tutoring center several years ago, but even though we worked together, both as ESL teachers and tutors, I considered her my friend as well as my colleague.
"Yes!" I answered. "I have blogged for years. Why do you ask?" "I'm starting a podcast for ESL learners," Angie said. "And I was wondering if I could read one of your blog posts on my show." "Of course!" I gave her a bunch of options, but in the end, she chose to use an older post I wrote about playing the drums. I wasn't sure why she picked that one, but I figured she knew what she was doing. "Do you think it would be possible for you to record yourself playing something on your drum set for me?" Angie asked. "I think, after that, I'll have everything I need." I agreed to it. Once she had everything together---the blog post, a bio about the writer (me!), and the drum fill--- Angie got to work, and today, I'm proud to share with you a link to the inaugural episode! She's got a bunch of others, so if you are speak English as a Second Language, want to see a good example of how to teach ESL, or want to hear me playing a drum fill at the beginning and the end of the episode, go ahead! Check it out!
