Sarcasm

I knew that it was going to happen eventually. Gary Vaynerchuk is a great speaker and a fantastic source of content for ESL classes but, there are so many other speakers that limiting myself only to Gary felt wrong.

When I saw Ewa Błaszczak, my homie from Warsaw, Poland, giving a Tedx Talk about sarcasm, I knew that I will want to use it in my classes and share with you guys. Very interesting topic, some advanced vocabulary but also a  bit of accent and pronunciation issues.

Great content for self study and those upper-intermediate classes. Have fun and… put an END to sarcasm.

Small Biz

Level: B2 and up

Product executive from Chase Business Banking, Brent Reinhard and Gary Vaynerchuk talk to small business owners about financing, social media and other challanges of running a family business.

The episode is pretty long so I decided to use only the first 25 minutes of the show.

Who knows maybe some day I’ll make a worksheet for the second part either 😉

Episode 201

Level: B1+ and up

Liars, haters, trolls and stupid questions    vs.     nature, positivity and loving yourself.

Very intense episode and relatively simple activities to go with it.

Watch out!!! The final part Gary’s show is kind of lengthy and confusing. Only recommend the last activity for advanced students (C1).

Hustle

Level: B2 and up

Can hustling make you rich?

Can having 10000 followers make you rich?

Can being a ‘big fish in a small pond’ make you rich?

The video was recorded in 2014 so it’s well-aged, but surprisingly crisp and up-to-date. The video and worksheet are going to make a really decent listening lesson with quite a bit of discussion.

AskGaryVee Episode 116

Level: C1 and up

That’s a tough one.

Gary’s employees asking him questions and multiple T/F answers.

Be careful! This worksheet is harder than it seems. I don’t know whether it’s the amount of business and sports or the language and speed that they speak at?  It’s just HARD to get the answers right.

But the discussion on fantasy sports is going to make it up to you.

Have fun.
