The first of these you can see by clicking on the link above. This will take you to all of the animated videos I have made for this blog. Downloads and PDF texts can be found in the archives.

It’s the start of summer here in Japan which brings out an interesting variety of insects of all shapes and sizes so I am going to make this bug week. There will be three lessons over the next week or so on this topic. The first is an external video. A movie review about a film called ‘Bug’. It’s not a horror movie, but a psychological thriller. The review is partly animated and is about intermediate level. There are no downloads or online exercises for this. It is listening only.

Hope you enjoy it.
