  Hello, and welcome back to my Slow English Podcast.

• 00:05

  A podcast for you to practice listening to slow English.

• 00:21

  This podcast is for advanced C1 listeners.

• 00:29

  Today, I want to talk about the human side of online learning.

• 00:40

  As many of you know, I am an online teacher.

• 00:48

  I have taught online for five years now.

• 00:57

  And I have made friends from all around the world because of my job.

• 01:08

  I think many people believe that online equals less connection, less engagement.

• 01:22

  But it doesn't have to be that way.

• 01:27

  Sometimes people disconnect being online with real people on each side of the camera.

• 01:39

  When you're looking through a screen to another person it's easy to disconnect your humanity and it's difficult

• 01:52

  because Sometimes people can be very mean or hateful online

• 02:04

  because they feel like it's not real.

• 02:11

  But it is real.

• 02:14

  It's still a person.

• 02:17

  Even if it's online, through a chat, through a post,

• 02:25

  or even a comment, it's still a real person behind the screen.

• 02:34

  And I think if you can't say something to someone's face in real life,

• 02:45

  then you shouldn't say it online.

• 02:49

  Why would you say it online?
