Hello all,

You may have seen Mark Lightman's video of Μαρκος και Λεωνιδας (ΜΑΡΚΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΛΕΩΝΙΔΑΣ) talking in Greek at the Denver Airport.  The following contains links to three videos on YouTube where I try to tell Mark a story via the TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency Through Storytelling). My accents are not always quite right, and I made a few guesses at words I did not have a solid handle on -- but I was totally unprepared for this story -- stories in storytelling are meant to be a little improptu -- they don't stick to just a single line or set of words. But take a look at the video and see if you cannot learn a little and then give me some feedback. 

Remote learning misses the feedback that a live audience gives and which is essential for a teacher. This is the biggest challenge to overcome via this method. But when you watch video, you can go back and play it again, which is what you cannot do in an unrecorded live class.
