I just learned some exciting news about Culips! We’ve been chosen as the “Site of the Month” for June 2009 over at EnglishClub.com!

ESL Site of the Month

Here’s what EnglishClub.com has to say about us on their awards page:

Culips is a Canadian based website with playful podcasts to help you learn English. The focus of these podcasts is on real language and its everyday use. Episodes are divided into fun categories including “Close Up”, “Catch Word” , “Chatterbox” and “Curious Questions”. Podcasts can be downloaded or played in a popup window. Extra materials including transcripts and comprehension quizzes are filed under “Lipservice” and are available with each podcast. You can get involved by sending your questions to the podcast group. Your “curious question” might get answered in a future podcast.

Sounds like a pretty good description to me! One great thing about Culips winning this award is that it’s provided us with a fantastic introduction to English Club. English Club has a really interesting website with lots of information for both English learners and English teachers, and each month they announce a new ESL Site of the Month that they think is valuable for learners.

One of the things I found most interesting at the English Club website was the Learning English Video project, which is a 7-part series of documentary films about learning English around the world. So far there’s a film made in Romania, and one in Morocco. The website says that films about learning English in America, Spain, China, Brazil, and the UK are coming soon.

So if you’ve never been to EnglishClub.com, why not check it out? If you’re visiting Culips.com because you heard about us from English Club, welcome! Let us know what you think about the site, and as always, keep those curious questions coming!
