Another subtitled video – for those of you still hanging on to Autumn!
Hojas, hojas, again from 123SpanishTogether, is a lovely simple song about falling leaves and colours.

Like this video clip on counting from 0-9. Seems to be like the Spanish version of TenTown?

I’ve just been reminded of these lovely videos that were part of a campaign to promote language learning.

I’ve just had a go at sub titling one of my favourite Spanish kiddies song – La Vaca Lola.
What do you think?
I used a tool called Universal Subtitles that allows you to subtitle videos in a variety of formats. Looks rather interesting – and useful!
I can’t seem to make it embed in WordPress so here’s the link!
30 minutes later – I’ve done another one – here’s Juguemos en el bosque.
TeachersTV is, I think, an increasing useful source of clips and materials, not just for CPD but also for classroom use.
Here they present some lovely lessons starters set in Martinique, set around preparations for carnival, the school and the local area. Not only good for the language – for example, Une chasse au tresor looks at vocabulary of directions – but also for ICU as the setting of Martinique allows comment to be made on the surroundings, comparing and contrasting, and also raises awareness of the Francophone world.
Another episode focuses on the preparations for Carnaval and the Carnaval itself – always fascinating to pupils in the UK where such festivities are unusual!
And another looks at the route Matis takes to school – an eyeopener in terms of what the route is like!
At about 2-5 minutes long, they’re a great way to open a lesson, or for those 10 minutes activities that can spread out over the week.
I subscribed to the channel belonging to Imagiers a while ago.
Originally, I saw the traditional songs below –
Today I saw that there was new series – Les comptines de Gros nez. This is a series of 63 French rhymes / songs ‘sung’ by a cartoon blue man with a big red nose. For example –
Alternatively, you could use Les comptines de la souris –
Also on Imagiers are many vocabulary videos like the one below –
There are thousands of videos on the channel – some are more advanced grammar and so on, others are simpler vocabulary presentations. And some are not French at all – eg there are several clips about Helsinki!
A beautiful, moving video of the Picasso painting Guernica, presented here in 3D. The music makes it all the more haunting.

BETT seems ages ago – but it’s only a month.
However, it’s a very long time to have neglected to blog my thoughts. I have been exceptionally busy since then – excuses excuse! – so much so that I’ve been struggling to keep up with life let alone blogging.
However, I was reminded that there is a clip of me doing what comes naturally – talking! Leon Cych asked me if I’d record a minute of my impressions of BETT – well, it’s a bit longer than that! Excuse me if it rambles a bit – I was very tired and had an excruciatingly sore back!
I think what I said having only been at BETT for 2 hours was still true after a day and a half. What makes and made BETT special for me is meeting people and sharing ideas. I did see a brilliant weather making green screen thing on the Kudlian stand – Jo Rhys-Jones and I got rather excited about the prospect of using it in language learning – Chris Fuller disowned us at that point!! And I had a marvellous time on the 2Simple stand – their products are brilliant (please could they make them Mac compatible though ;o)) But mostly it was TMTakeover, Teachmeet and meeting up with random people that made my BETT.
There are lots of other OSS videos with Dawn Hallybone, Zoe Ross, David Noble too. Check them out on the OpenSourceSchools channel on Youtube.
