What’s Twitter you might ask?
The excellent English Learning website English as a 2nd Language has a great explanation:
“Twitter is a tool that you can use to send messages of up to 140 characters to a group of followers while you also follow others.
To understand, here is a video called Twitter in Plain English which provides a good introduction: This is a great tool that works with any device that you use to connect to the Internet. The messages are short, and easy to read.
It’s the perfect platform to practice English structure, idioms and phrases!”

From Wikipedia:
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside of the industry due to its fast readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be made up of any kind of data (e.g., binary, alphanumeric, or Kanji symbols).[1]
Created by Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994 to track vehicles during the manufacturing process,[2] the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. It was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.[3]
The technology has seen frequent use in Japan; the United Kingdom is the seventh-largest national consumer of QR codes.[4
Scan Pierre GESLiN’s QR code (this image on the right) with your smart phone equiped with a QR Reader Application (any smartphone) to get Pierre GESLIN’s contact details.
Generate YOUR OWN code with a QR Code generator (such as this one for iPhone).
Have fun!
Let me know what you think….
There is a new feature on Listen to English which allows you to download podcasts direct to your iPhone or other Smart Phone.
Below each podcast there is a link Download to your SmartPhone. Click the link to display a QR barcode. If your phone has a camera, an internet connection and a barcode reader, the phone will be able to read the barcode and download the podcast mp3.
This feature is still experimental. Please let Peter Carter know if you find it useful, and if you find any problems with it.
Here, the image above right is an example of this podcast
