I was getting short of ideas for lessons, so I decided to have people vote for the type of lessons they would prefer. The poll I started last month, was supposed to serve as a clue but now that it's closed, I'm even more disoriented by the final outcome.
The majority, 22%, voted for a Listening lesson. Then how come similar lessons, targeting listening skills, have turned out to be the least popular, among lessons I've posted so far - "Hush" (song lyrics, a gap-filling exercise) and "How to Talk to Girls" (a cute and amusing interview with a little boy who wrote a book about girls).
Somebody, please explain this to me because I'm totally confused! What exactly is your idea of a listening lesson?

Having a passion for teaching and helping others, I started posting lessons on English, baby! last October. However, I hadn't really realized anyone was even paying attention to what I was posting, before Jason contacted me and e-mailed me his interview questions.
Even though, popularity and recognition was not what I was after, it feels fulfilling to see that so many people benefit from my lessons and show their appreciation on a daily basis. Only today, I've received about 50 thank-you e-mails and this is, probably, the best reward a teacher can get.
Thank you, English,baby! and thank you, English, baby! members!
