My storytelling game is now on Amazon! Nostalgia is a storytelling game for 2+ players. Play old, retired heroes who have lost much of their greatness, and some of their wits, but still remember the thrilling adventures and epic journeys of their youth. link.amazon/B06GxrfJ7

@gianfrancocont9 Hi! I'm a long-time user and proponent of your books for professional development purposes here in Sweden. Thank you! I have a question: You used to have a great blog post discussing creative products, but it's no longer available. Was this intentional? [1/2]

@gianfrancocont9 I'm talking about the post "Redefining ‘creativity’ in the foreign language classroom," which used to be available here gianfrancoconti.com/2015/07/17/red…. I refer to it in one of my courses, and while I could use the Internet Archive, I thought I'd ask you![2/2]

@ECLSchool That you can't rely on your course/teacher/textbook to teach you everything, perhaps, or even the most basic things! Sadly, most people don't realise this is true until years later, and I'm not sure this actually works.

@hueykwik @Molson_Hart Finally, I should add that it's impossible to really say based on the information here. I've so far not encountered a single student who can't learn tones, though! More information would be needed to figure out what to do. [3/2]

@hueykwik @Molson_Hart Learning mainly through Pinyin is noteworthy. You will never learn to hear tones by reading tone marks! I would start with identifying what exactly the problem is. Some ideas for reception (listening) here: hackingchinese.com/how-to-learn-t… [2/2]

@hueykwik @Molson_Hart There're many things to consider! Hearing vs. speaking is one, written pronunciation vs. actual pronunciation is another. People differ when it comes to how easy it is to perceive and learn new sounds, but there are may things I'd check before concluding that's the issue. [1/2]
