Can anyone else hear the sound on this video?
Hi, The sound on the video is working fine for me. Can you check that the sound on the player is not muted? Alternatively, you could try using a different web browser and see if that helps. I hope that helps - let us know if not. Thanks, Cath TE Team
Yeah, a lot of people nowadays do like to watch such video channels and TED. And quite a number of presentations given can be regarded as interesting and practically useful. But teaching whatever language in a classroom is not to be based on any sort of "one-side" approach. And philologist is always to keep real-life interaction paste with the learners, thus trying to stimulate interaction & self-expression as it is.
