Welcome to Josh’s ESL site! This site is dedicated to saving me time by posting listening homework online instead of burning 20 + discs every month. There is nothing special or profound about this page other than hundreds of students are forced to listen to the deafening drone of my voice each night before they go to bed. I’ll see you in your sleep…

hi,Josh
Merry Christmas!Hope everything works out for you in the coming year!Thank you,you are a good teacher!
Hi,Mr.Josh
This is Tan . The student who’s in ur listenin’ class.
I enjoy this space so much.
Hmm.. Somethin’ about myself .I think my listening is probably not that bad, but sometimes people will ask me again again about what I said. I dont think the only problem is about me speaking too fast. Perhaps clear pronunciation is a key problem when Im talkin’ to people. Do u agree with it? I think I really need 2 take pronunciation class. And the other question , could u give me any idea how I can improve my accent better? I mean chinese accent.
Hi,Mr.Josh
I can`t open the questions about the `fugitive`.
Can you help me? Thank you
Monica Suevo

Hello~~Josh/josi/. How are you??
I miss you. You are a good teacher!
Recently weather is soooo hot.
brcareful about go to somewhere~~
Hi Josh,
Today I didn’t have homework but I still want to do something as reading a book, listening news in internet, studying new vocabularies, practice for English pronunciation… I’m studying English for all I don’t go to school.
I remember the first day I came to UD to study English, I could not understand when hearing somebody says, when I wanted to hold a conversation with someone, I didn’t know how must I speak English. I wasn’t confident to do that!
After ten weeks studying English in listening class with you, my English is getting better. I can confirm with you about that and I can say that “I got off to a good start to study English”.
You are a good teacher. I want to say “thank you” to you. Thanks so much for your help for your instructions and even though for your advices.
I must go back home to continue to handle my company. So I must prorogue to study English in UD.
I hope you understand me and I want to give you a say goodbye.
See you later!
Phat Huynh

See you tomorrow!

Hi Josh,
I’m so sorry about my behavior after test, because you know…, that is very hard for me to feel good with bad score. Buy the way, I will try on my best next month, and you’ll see. Although I cannot sure, but I promise that I’ll study hard.
See you Fall 2.

Hi,Josh
I very happy to see the all pictures of you, your baby and your famiy. Your baby is very lovely and beautiful.
How are you? I often miss you at my new school, each time I go to a new class and see my new teacher, they are just not as good as you. So I miss your English classes. Sometimes I talk to my classmates about you. Next Monday I start 4B English at NLC. Maybe you will be my teacher since the teacher was not posted. That is my dream, could you be my teacher again? Where are you teaching?
