Here are some of the guidelines I use when coming up with or selecting the Genki English games!

And you can find all the Genki English games either in the main Genki English curriculum or on the VIP Game page!   (You’re a VIP when you have the Genki English Teacher’s Set Download Pack or you can also find them on Skool)

The post 7 Rules for Great Games! first appeared on Genki English.

On Sunday’s call we were talking about how best to teach 0-2 year olds, so in the Skool group I just added videos of 20 “Skinship” songs/rhymes for your Mommy & Me classes.

(Mommy & Me is by far the best way of teaching this age group,  unless you have super unlimited amounts of patience & energy!)

The skinship songs are promoted by lots of child development specialists and basically they are songs or rhymes where the mums touch &play with the babies as they listen to the music.

Some you’ll know, some will be new but you have 20 of them to choose from now

And on the other side of things I just uploaded the Halloween Pack to the Skool group too with the 6 human made Genki Halloween lessons …

• Lesson 101 : Haunted House
• Lesson 102 : Happy Halloween
• Lesson 103 : Skeleton Soup
• Lesson 104 : Apple Bobbing!
• Lesson 105 : Trick or treat
• Lesson 106 : What do you want to be for Halloween?

(There are also a few AI Halloween things added too – adjectives, jokes & idioms –  I made those before all the AI backlash so they are optional )

And I’m just about to write up all the “Take aways” from last week’s live teacher calls.   We have so much there from Mommy & Me tips to teaching grammar tips, from child development to recruiting new students so there’s lots for you to enjoy.

The Skool group is supposed to be for private English teachers or school owners who have their students on the homework program.    But if you don’t have students on the homework program yet,   you can still join us.  We don’t have the free trial anymore but if you use the link here you can still  join the standard plan and it’s only $49,  so it’s well worth it for all the other benefits you get!

Enjoy!

Be genki,

This quite blew my mind!

Yesterday, we were trying to calculate how much teachers have made using Genki English over the past 25 years.

How much do you think it might be?

We’ve got 1,400 teachers in the VIP group, but we rounded it down to 1000.

And although some Genki English teachers make $100,000 a year from teaching it full time, some do it part time or for some Genki English is just the first course they teach. So we estimated on the low side, $10,000 a year from teaching Genki English courses.

And although some teachers have been teaching Genki English for 20 (or more!) years we averaged it out at 10 years.

So I asked chatGPT, 1,000 teachers earning $10k per year teaching Genki English for 10 years and the total came out to be ……

$100 MILLION!!!

Yep, that’s ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS in estimated teaching revenue!

And that’s using some VERY conservative numbers!

But you know what makes me happiest about this?
It’s not me who’s made that money.

It’s YOU!

Running your own classes, building your own school, helping kids learn English and making a living doing something you love.

And that’s what Genki English has become.

Not just making English lessons more fun.

Not just getting kids speaking confidently.

But also helping teachers succeed too.

So whether you’ve been with us for 20 years or you’ve just joined us this week, thank you for being part of it!

Here’s to the next $100 MILLION or maybe even a $Billion????!

Be genki!

The post $100 MILLION from teaching Genki English???! 🤯 first appeared on Genki English.

You now have all the new themes, Time Part 3, What’s the temperature?, Goldilocks, Pirate Cutlery etc. etc. on the Gamified worksheets/checklists to go with the homework program.

I also updated the icons to be a little easier to see so that kids colour them in when ….

• They can mimic/copy all the intonations of every word in the “Words” section
• They know the song
• They can beat the game

One point per star, how many points can you get?

Let me know if you spot any mistakes / requests for improvements!

New step …. can we fit the QR codes on there anywhere????

P.S.  If you’re not on the Homework Program yet,  you still have time (just!) to sign up for this year! 

The post New Updated Gamified Checklist / Worksheets first appeared on Genki English.

When you set a new lesson for homework, 2 parts of the software are the most important:

• In the “Words” section to be able to mimic/copy all the different intonations & pronunciations for each word. (This is what gets the great pronunciation & is also really popular with adults too!)
• Learn the song. ( This is where they learn the grammar structure & it allows you to review everything in class in 1 minute!)

There are of course more parts you can add but these are the two most important.

The kids then come to class having already learnt all the words with amazing pronunciation and the phrase/question for this week so you can spend all the classroom time giving feedback and playing the speaking games!

If you’re not signed up for the homework yet,  we have plans for 10, 50 or 100 students or you can find out more here!

P.S.  Ninja Tip:  Instead of setting just one theme for next week’s lesson,  try setting 4 or 5!  You’ll be shocked at how much the kids can learn at home in a week!

Hello,

It’s the new school year & everyone is asking about finances/student numbers.

I want you to be able to afford everything.

Including of course my Teacher’s Set.

So I’ve put together a few different programs for you…

If you’re earning ….. 

Less than $1,000 per month teaching English  Self study,  check out all the free articles I’ve written for you here to get you up to that $1,000/month mark!

If you’re earning ….

Between €/$1,000 & €/$10,000 per month teaching English ->  All the main Genki English programs have my “Mini Business” course to get you up to that €/$10,000 per month level.   You can choose the pay once & download option or the online monthly option. 

If you’re earning ….

Between $100,000 & $1m per year teaching English ->. The full Genki Business Course is what you need.  We go deep on hiring (don’t hire teachers!), marketing (don’t pay for ads!), investing etc. etc.    Again there is the pay once option or the $199/month option.  

If you’re earning ….

Between $1m and $3m per year teaching English ->  you want the private coaching option.  

And if you’re earning …

Over $3m per year teaching English -> I’ve never done it so I probably can’t help you .  I can certainly try with any of the programs above, but no guarantees!

Hope that helps to get you a very rich and fulfilling 26/27 & also means you’ll have more than enough to buy all the teaching materials you’ll ever need!

Be genki,

Richard
