10,000 + YouTube Subscribers!
I wrote on this blog last November that I hoped to have 6000 YouTube subscribers by November 2010. Well, today we passed the 10,000 subscriber mark, and it’s only August. Recent trends show that I should have 15,000 subscribers on YouTube by November 2010 – considerably more than I earlier predicted.
We also have 2063 Linguaspectrum members. And that is without any form of advertising. I am soon to launch my subscription service. I hope to turn a high proportion of my members into subscribers to the new Premium Content.
What I have learnt over the past few months is that hard work and more hard work eventually pays dividends and achieves your goals. Endless hours of work should see us with 30,000 YouTube subscribers by this time next year (August 16th 2011) and, I hope, 5,000 Linguaspectrum members.
The numbers seem fantastic, but they are only a tiny fraction of the people out there who want to learn English.

There Their They’re | Learn English | Confusables
This latest video English lesson deals with another 3 troublesome homophones – there, their and they’re. You only have to read the comments on any English online newspaper to see how even native English speaker have trouble with these. This video is also full of fiendishly difficult tongue-twisters designed to test your verbal dexterity. I defy you to say them all correctly.

To Too Two | Learn English | Confusing Words

This was by far the most difficult video I have yet made for YouTube. Some problems with the rendering at YouTube caused massive synchronization problems and the video was unusable as a teaching tool. I had to redo the whole thing in MPEG-2 and then spend 11 hours uploading. Thankfully, it finally rendered correctly at YouTube’s end. I hope this is not going to repeat itself.
