Learn English Live is not easy
Another day, another live stream. I teach live English classes on my channel every night. It is quite the challenge to prepare a live stream. I need to spend a few hours making a script and images for every live stream. I am not sure why I am making live streams these days, but hopefully someday I will benefit from my effort.
Tonight’s live stream was a game. In an attempt to engage my viewers, I think a game format is fun and entertaining. I had prepared the game in the afternoon, so I had everything ready by 6 p.m. At around 10:15 p.m., I start to advertise the live stream on various social media sites until 10:27 p.m. This is the usual live stream preparation schedule.
Well, today at 10:27 p.m., I noticed that my microphone wasn’t working. I started to panic! I had to go live at 10:30 p.pm, and I could already see people waiting in the chat room for the live stream. I had to hurry to find out what the problem was for the live stream settings. I noticed that there were two problems. First, the microphone wasn’t set up properly. I fixed it quickly. Second, the video setting was wrong. It was already 10:33 p.m.! My live stream was late. I had to start with the wrong video setting. I didn’t think the video setting mattered much, but during the live stream many people complained about a delay. I felt terrible that I could not fix it for them. Nothing can be fixed once I go live.
We played the game. I had 10 words and my students had to guess the words through the clues I gave them. I thought the game would be a little harder, but my students were clever. Carrie Page got 2 of the words. I was impressed.

I am always amazed that students come out to watch my live streams. The people give their precious time to listen to me. I do hope I make a difference with my free English classes and help people truly improve their English.
I can’t imagine how difficult it must’ve been for you. I am so sorry, Robin. There was a technical difficulty and a delay (I complained too! Sorry!) but you handled it very well. The game was very fun but also useful for English beginners like me. I didn’t know that word “eyelashes’ and spelling of ‘harass’, but now I memorize those words clearly! And Thanks for your praise. just in case other people is wondering, I didn’t cheat! I knew the word ‘rural’ becuase I have a fantasy of living in rural, quite town like in western countries….Anyway, Robin. You’re a great English teacher! Thanks for your effort!
Thank you, Carrie. It is always my pleasure to do these Live Streams even though there is a lot of frustration and stress the days I do them. I was happy you won two games! You are very clever…and a fast typer.
I’m so happy to be a Robin’s student here so I’m sure his English so probability good but,if a person falls in his channel please check it and watch all or some videos practices and good pronunciations.
Thank you for your comment.
My words paralyze about express.
But..you are really a resistant person and offer a lot to help others.. You spend al lot of your time and health about it. I have not found a teacher like you.
For that reason I suggest that live streams to be five times in the week so you take some rest.
Hello Layla, thank you for your kind words. I will not teach 7 days a week. I will teach less when new teachers start teaching.
Robin, thank you so much for spend your time with us. Your classes are very helpful to me. Learning English is very hard sometimes, but you always encourage us. You always say: “don’t give up”. In fact, I see you don’t give up on us. So, one more time, thank you so much for everything you do for us. God bless you!
Thank you, Cassio. I will not give up on you.
I like how you think outside the box. It was a really fun game. I think that what makes you special. Go ahead, don’t give a fuck about your haters. You’re in the right path. We got your back. You’re not walking alone. See you in one hour.
Thanks
