This is the first time I've seen anything like this. It is fresh and enjoyable. The videos are very challenging. I love to see what life is like for other teenagers.

There are a lot of things I like about PencilBot™. Its topics are current, and the language feels authentic. It has a wide variety of activities and tasks in a number of areas of value to my students, such as listening, vocabulary development, exploring culture, and aspects of pronunciation. I wish there had been something like this when I was studying German & French.
