Teaching English By Phone, Skype? Worth A Try!

What makes learners of English language feel frustrated studying English? Having non-native and weird accent teacher? Boring material? Mostly brainwashed with grammar and this has become a must that they must elaborate it and have to be perfectly correct, and that without this English will not sound as it is? How about a long distance learning?

Perhaps most people prefer using Skype to have a class online, but in case they don't really comfortable with each other frequent face-to-face session, and that video call makes Internet connection get slower, studying and teaching by phone is a worth try. Okay, this time I won't tickle your fancy with a silly story of celebrities and the like. Instead I would like to share a story about my experience of how I realized that video call on Skype is only for an introduction session. After that your voice and ear will effectively work.

teaching english by phone, skype
My friend forwarded his student to-be to me as he was not well prepared teaching her Bahasa Indonesia. This pretty Serbian woman living in Amsterdam started to learn with me by Skype and as what I usually do teaching by phone, we finally focused on ear and voice. Speaking and listening, that's the point. Long distance class doesn't really need such formula much. You, teacher, should lead your student to the real life situation. This is what we call functional approach. It's the method which requires you to repeat some phrases that you hear or listen again and again and that you get used to it.

Not quiet different from what I do here that I mostly tickle your fancy by silly contents, English is fun especially if you are good at Tongue Twister. Traditional method on phone won't do any good. But drilling and try as best as you can to pronounce things as precisely as the native speakers do, that's Brilliant. This is a great way of teaching. No classroom session, you can do it while lying in bed, walking down in the park, on the train the way you talk with anybody on the line. What you need to concern is your connection and the provider, this must be well prepared.

In big busy cities where people generally cannot attend a class, learning by phone or Skype is highly recommended. Jakarta, Indonesia for example, where most of the people cannot speak English, for it is a foreign language, this kind of teaching is very helpful.

You guys starting a career in any other countries, especially those coming from the none English-speaking countries can copy me. Below is my strategies to build my own business to boost a side income

  • Set your target, decide your rate and give a few-minute lesson trial from your cellphone or Skype. You must be able to "sell yourself." Prove it you can pronounce things as precisely as native speaker. and you have a great method like Communicative Approach.
  • Create a blog or site, not necessarily the one with hosting--you can do it with free blogspot or wordress and create some contents related to your skill.
  • SEO is very crucial, you need to outdo your competitors. Find something smart and witty entry like "Looking for a cheap English course? We have it." First, You have already calculated all, that off course it will bring benefit to you.
  • Not necessarily promote bluntly English by phone learning--not so many people are familiar with it, they have been comfortably learning with conventional way; you need to convince your student to-be that this system is more effective and efficient besides cheap.
  • Have a great negotiation skill, make sure they pay you completely in advance by Bank transfer or Paypal, etc, and make sure of them that you won't cheat them. Gradually collect some testimonies from your previous student and put them on the site or blog to let public know.
  • Once you have few students learning with you on the line and in case that that there would be more, you must be able to manage your time or set time allocation so that they get their right of good service.
Well, that's all that I can share. Hopefully you can do your best. Good luck.

Is Nexus 6 The Best? Recommended? What's the Alternative?

is nexus 6 best, recommended? what's the alternative
Mr Nurman learns to tickle your fancy recommends that you have Nexus 6. It’s not because Google is gambling and it is a huge gamble. It’s because the item is not as cheap as what you think. Maybe it’s the best in the world or you might find an alternative one. I don’t know now if it still somewhere around $650 or less. But, if you have that sense of luxury and want to look outstanding you should be the guy with a decent communication tool.

We’re talking about pride, and Mr. Nurman learns to tickle your fancy thinks that you should outdo James Bond when any sophisticated things offered to him to show off to the world. Surely by pricing the Nexus 6, Google doesn’t have to regret their decision to release it to the world. They think it’s the best. Even if it’s no longer the sweet bargain previous Nexus models were, and while its specs will have smartphone fans drooling, the high price has turned it from an impulse buy to a decision. When you find some alternative you might recommend people by replying to the comment below.

If you are not stunned by the reasonable cost of the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 — you might still consider purchasing the recommended Nexus 6, now that Google doesn’t have to wait a review from Mr. Nurman learns to tickle your fancy, I won’t say it’s the best or you need to get alternative luxurious smart phone.

I want you to look cool. I don’t want you to look as silly as a writer to write something out of ordinary and no high quality content at all to attract you to buy this Nexus 6. Is the guy me? Forget it. Or you have alternative figure than Mr. Nurman learns to tickle your fancy’s review? You can go anywhere, not only communicating on the line, but also you can be in heaven on line. That’s the best thing and recommended to do online with such stuff. When you picked up the Nexus 5, alternatively, there really weren’t many other devices that boasted the same specs for such a great price. Today, for between $650 and $700, there’s an amazing, wonderful, almost bewildering smorgasbord of options.

Now if you just have something ordinary and common you are not part of the one to tickle the world with your fancy thing. Cheap things won’t bring you to fame. You know now the meaning of sold out, or selling out. What am I? Evil?

Don’t ever ask what the hell happened, Google? What’s with the greed? You have to be greedy yourself; you should have such fancy thing which is the best recommendation of life. You know I’m just learning to tickle your fancy, if you don’t really feel comfortable with it you can find some alternative reviews out there, but this time I am challenging you to outdo anybody having such fancy tool but don’t know the meaning of pride.

Sure, you don’t have anything to do with what Google product manager Sandeep Waraich says that the Nexus 6 is a “deliberate decision to push the boundaries on technology. We arrived at the solution, then the price.” No at all, you just need some refreshment here even if you don’t buy it because you’re broke. LOL!

Trumpet From The Sky Not To Tickle Your Fancy!

Baffling people from all over the world, the trumpet from the sky is not a joke. It's not Walt Disney's tricks to promote a new animated movie or a distraction of a political issue. It's a warning for anybody who believe in signs of God. You just cannot tickle your fancy when the Doomsday shows its slight sign.

You cannot dance and have fun with it after you hear one woman in Canada has recorded chilling sounds several times. Similar outbursts have been captured on countries around the world including the U.S., Ukraine, Germany and Belarus. What is the trumpet all about? Is there an alien in the sky which everyone think fictitious would like to start a concert with human beings? A tickle your fancy tale? Indeed, technology reigns supreme now. You may believe there's a mermaid ever caught alive as seen in a picture, she no doubt looks real. But you know what? As more and more people believe, the trick is revealed, that it's part of product promotion, uh-oh!

2015 is not the first time this trumpet from the sky ever heard. Would you be there with Aaaron Traylor back then in 2012? Aaron Traylor captured a recording in Montana in the U.S. on February 18, 2012, and said: 'I've had vivid nightmares ever since I posted the very eerie strange sounds that has Missoula talking and looking towards the sky; awful, awful nightmares.' Is this statement sounds funny to you? No jokes, no things to tickle your fancy. You need to believe that thing is real and that even Rock star won't respond with "We will we will rock you!"

trumpet from the sky to tickle your fancy
The Doomsday is coming, I hate you keep coming here
Unless you don't care about sins. You keep committing adultery, smoking marijuana, corruption and after suicide you resurrect and start to laugh, "Hell is nonsense!" When you think you cannot blow the trumpet of your life, the one only available out of the sky, the thing that you would like to do is kill God, because you God is no more a myth. What a tickling story! You play joke with Supreme Being and your religion is science. It's as what you call as brain achievement. 

It's all mystery. All needs prove. And even after an evidence and everyone is convinced, there's no statement of agreement. When you hate Scriptures and you think it's such a joke and what is told in Bible or Quran you may play your own trumpet blown to mock God somewhere far far away in the sky or heavens. You can tickle your fancy by doing it again and again but heavens will give no response, heavens will remain silence and heavens will challenge anybody using their brain to solve the mystery of life.

Reborn and Ready to Tickle Your Funny Bone Again

Glad to be reborn and ready to tickle your funny bone again.

As we can write anything we want here I'd like to write about my hiatus. Why it takes so long for me to update a content. That's because I couldn't tickle your funny bone as I was not born yet. What does it mean. Well, the Internet is unpredictable market for bloggers and anybody making money here cannot always get what he wants.

I claimed once to be an owner of a tickle your fancy blog, but out there people just don't really engage with silly things. They need to be told, advised and useful tips to improve their lives. When you reborn, that's the time for you to change your mindset, not only entertaining people around, but also give them values. It's more than tickle your fancy or funny bone. It's a temptation, it's a desire and it's the source of living for anybody who like to see other living longer.

Glad to tell jokes despite they're not always funny.

The point is how to tell others that they deserve entertainment and information as well. When you come here and over and over again as a newcomer, I'd say thank you very very much. When you come back and feel relieved, I'm so glad that I was reborn healthy and humorous and am always happy to tickle your fancy or tickle your funny bone.

Mr. Nurman learns to tickle your fancy, hopefully will still become one of your favorite blogs and what I need is feedback in case you need more than jokes or silly things.

Well, as we grow up we try to get rid of bizarre out of mind. However, a childlike side in us, that's permanent, you're no more an elderly man with a great smile pretending to be a young guy. We will keep telling you spoof and not to distract you from the focus of what you read, we also gives valuable lesson and tutorial for you.

Thank you for reading and good luck everyone.

No Formal Education? Success Doesn't Belong To Certain People!

Anybody who want to make their dream come true needs to work hard and technically need to prepare all things with sufficient knowledge of business. So is formal education necessary in order to be successful?

Yes, sure it is. But those who are not lucky that they drop out of school or have no money to go on cannot say without formal education one cannot get success in life. No way, it is not necessary to feel sorry for your "bad luck" for it can even become your trigger to make achievement in life.

I would share my story. I am one of the men who learn anything by themselves, including English. Few years ago I didn't know what SEO was, how to make a whiteboard animation video, how to boost business online. But things can come to being as long as we try hard to make it true.

Of English, when I was a teenager I hardly ever went out for fun and never wished to have a romance before I make a success my life. Most of the time I spent in a room with a pile of books, dreaming of working in an English speaking environment and now--dream comes true.

When you fuss about is formal education necessary for success? and you have no financial support in order to make your dream come true, just keep in mind:

    formal education is not really necessary
  • There's something we call strong will to fight against impossibility
  • There are opportunities available easier now online and offline that you can focus on and try hard to get one
  • There's something called Law of Attraction, what you think that what you get. If you are sure of your struggle and believe in your own power you can get what you want faster than anyone else.
Off course no pain no gain, you still need to have a formal education at least for basic knowledge and you need also to compete to others to be one the world can count on. Otherwise you should take second option by taking informal learning and focus on it. 

The question of whether it is necessary to be self-made for success is not only a question, it is a trigger. You can be a self-made person, a successful autodidact!

Why I hate To Get Paid $100 For A Blog Post

Really hate it when people pay me $100 for a blog post. But finding my Alexa ranking screwed up, that's really annoying.

The people are working hard making money blogging and I am too. They are trying to get all the way to get rich working from home and so am I. However, when it comes to earning the income as desired many will complain why it takes so long to make a great number of money on the Internet. As for me, my loudest moan is I really hate to get paid as much as $100 or more for a blog posting when there's a request of product review. And it's worsen by the unreliable report of ranking on Alexa.

$100 per blog post
Let's start a dream of having $100 per blog post
What would you do if you were in my place? $100 to turn down is stupid thing to do? Well, my blog post is worth $0000,1 to tell you the truth. Because I wrote mostly about spoof and is learning to write something serious about a product. But the more I get serious, the further Adsense will welcome me as a publisher. Because I write about poker? or gun? There's no invitation to gamble or kill a man, but there's a rule there to follow.

Well, I will bury my dream of having $100 for a blog post as Alexa just put my blog upside down in order to make money on their own. I think I'd better get back to nature, writing the things that I don't do for a couple of months: Jokes

1. Anybody wanting to get paid $100 for a blog post, please close your eyes and say, "mirror mirror on the wall, please teach how to optimize a kind of miracle--so called the law of attraction, and keep me in positive thinking."

2. Anybody to be fooled around by Alexa, please be happy with your ranking, because if you close down your blog, the world will remember you as a hero and people will pay you $100 in your dream

3. You don't have to yell at people on the street because you fail to get $100 from the Internet after 5 years blogging. Better help me spread this "amazing news" to the world, who knows you may get lucky finding a very beautiful angel in Nigeria.

Okay, now you know why I hate to get paid $100 for a blog post. If you don't get it just write the same thing as I do and post it on your blog as an experiment. Who knows people of the same fate won't laugh at you but instead think about hiring you as a genious.

Well, just learn to tickle your fancy, anyway.

Whiteboard Animation: Storyboard!

Here is the whiteboard animation storyboard's head, my latest project. By the time I am writing this. the project is halfway to completeness. It's from and for Indonesia.

Maybe it's the first time I need to make a hand drawn sketch by pencil and then by marker before mixing it with a software on the computer. The whiteboard animation this type of scribing or doodling is more time consuming than those using software like sparkol who anybody can use even if they can't draw at all.

No matter how complicated it may seem, if we enjoy creating it it brings satisfaction off course. Well this first scene of whiteboard animation's storyboard to be put down here to invite you to hire me in case you have similar project of doodling or scribing.
