Talked with @nerdtropolis about my new YouTube channel WELLER WORLD. Have you subscribed?
“For Dr. Weller, the mission goes beyond history… ‘The best thing we can do is get people off their butts to go somewhere,” he said. “Go to Toledo, where a mosque, a synagogue, and a cathedral stand next to each other. Learn cultural realism. If you understand people, you stop judging them. Every faith says the same thing: handle what’s in front of you with kindness.”
Unlike traditional travel shows, Weller World is built for speed. "It's not Rick Steves, and it's not a 20-minute lecture. It's fast hits," Dr. Weller said. "See this church? Here's who built it. See this ruin? Here's why it matters. You want to know where to eat paella? I'll tell you. It's quick, it's enthusiastic, and it's about sparking curiosity."

I couldn't agree more Dr Weller! Even in language teaching, entertaining and hooking is what increases language acquisition. 🙌

Today I tried to teach a bunch of teenagers what they needed to know about DNA for their exam. To them, every other word was new. I have to teach something different tomorrow. Aristotle had it right - teaching as an industry will always be less effective. Keep the faith.
