    Hi! Really amazing! I usually like to give my students the script of the videos. Are there any lessons with the script included?

    1. Stan

      All the videos based on TED Talks have good quality transcripts available, e.g. https://eslbrains.com/got-a-meeting-take-a-walk/. Very often you can also find CC in YouTube videos but watch out! Some of them are auto-generated and would require you to check and correct them – they’re generally not so bad but never perfect.

Questions

Title separator

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

How can I edit an e-lesson plan?

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
