Every time I put a Snoop Dogg song or a dick reference on facebook, I’m so happy I’m not a “real teacher” working in a country ruled by puritans. That would be pretty exhausting… Having to be a moral example for the vapid soulless future consumers of America. 

world-shaker:

8 Things Teachers Should NEVER Do On Facebook (and 8 they should).

Update: Really surprised by the push-back on this one, but I still back it. Education is much higher risk than other professions. All it takes is one student, parent, or co-worker to find one inappropriate thing, and then it’s a world of hurt.

27 phrasal verbs ebook Daniel WelschMy new book about ESL is out on Amazon Kindle. 27 Phrasal Verbs que debes conocer is a bilingual book that helps intermediate level students of English to learn and master phrasal verbs, generally one of the most difficult aspects of English for non-native speakers.

A phrasal verb is a verb with a preposition that changes the meaning, for example, keep on = continue. 

I’ll be making a pdf version soon, and looking into other ways of distributing it. Anyway, life is good!

P.S. I also have an author’s page on Amazon now. Ha! Next stop, fame, fortune and buying one of those big gold dollar sign necklaces!

Thanks again to Google Analytics for giving me such detailed information about who visits my website and who doesn’t.

Those fucking hippies from Vermont, for example, haven’t visited my ESL site a single time since June of last year. They’ve had 11 months to realize how awesome I am. I could imagine getting that kind of treatment from Mississippi, West Virginia, and the two Dakotas, but shit. Vermont? It must be because they’re a bunch of elitist militant raw-foodists who have never seen a Hispanic person in their lives. So you know what? Fuck ‘em all. They can go to their Phish concerts and enjoy their legalized medicinal marijuana, the rest of us (who live in the real America, where Spanish is the lingua franca), know they’re missing out on the best things in life, like Chile Relleno Burritos and Los Tigres del Norte.

Seriously, Vermonters, I expect this kind of shit from those damn rednecks in the cousin-marrying states. Maybe even Hawaii. But you all-white suburban fucks up there in your V-shaped yuppie paradise can just suck a cheeta’s dick.
