Time to test your language knowledge…. Body language that is! JapanesePod101.com presents you with the first episode of Japanese Body Language and Gestures, where you will learn some commonly used body language in Japan, presented by the lovely native Japanese speaker, Hiroko. Have fun learning about the best ways to communicate without saying anything (okay, we’ll teach you a few words while we’re at it).

If you learned a lot with this video, stop by our Japanese language learning website and get other language learning content including other great videos like this one, audio podcasts, review materials, blogs, iPhone applications, and more.

The Dark Side of Amateur Science by Bill Beaty

Posted by admin on August 5th, 2009 and filed under science websites | 3 Comments »

Bill Beaty’s website – amasci.com/weird.html – you can buy the lecture and workshop DVDs at http://www.vanguardsciences.biz/dvds.htm – Bill presents a wide ranging discussion and demonstration of many alternative science and weird science phenomena. Bill runs the very popular and well respected Amateur Science website. The workshop video contains many demonstrations of unusual effects. Also check out our other DVDs and ebooks…

In the workshop video Bill demonstrates a carbon arc which produces iron which is theoretically impossible and is the low level transmutation investigated by Dr. JOM Bockris at Texas A&M. The workshop also shows unusual static electricity, optical and magnetic phenemona as well as wave interference and much more. Alas, youtube only allows 10 minutes per video so I couldn’t show but about 3% of the items most would find of interest on these DVDs.

Five Little Leaves Felt Board Activity Preschool Video

Posted by admin on August 5th, 2009 and filed under preschool websites | 4 Comments »

Cullen’s abc’s http://www.cullensabcs.com creates free preschool videos to support children’s development at home and in the classroom. Find more free preschool videos at our website! For preschoolers this is a rhyme about five leafs and is done with a felt board. Color recognition and counting skills are incorporated.

Rhymes are central to building children language skills. Many rhymes and songs are rhythmic and the language is often repetitive, which helps preschoolers build their language skills. Using hand and facial actions with rhymes help children identify words more easily e.g. ‘clap your hands’. The best thing about rhymes is that they are free, and can be done anywhere and at anytime!
