Hi Shelly, definitely something i would be interested in helping in - you can see the sort of content I produce in my YouTube channel (and I too think gaming could be used for more learning - I introduced some facts into my Minecraft videos for that very reason. @mattwoor on Twitter

Not sure if this would be helpful, Kurt, but if you'd like to try it, it might be good practice for more co-op speaking. I make videos for English learning students, at all levels of English. Youtube teachers tend to be boring as hell, using whiteboards and writing, explaining in FAST English how something works in BASIC English. In other words, a stupid way really. So I make game videos using slow English. Which is a bit hard to do, but a good benefit is that it gives more time to think about what to say. So there's no problem with being slow with what to say, that's actually a benefit! It's super helpful having other vocal types for my videos, so recently been trying to invite more people in, Brian did one with me way back before I moved, now getting back to it consistently (ha - on a teacher's schedule? Yeah right). There's just one problem. The one thing I need is more voice types so students can learn the vocal patterns of English and different accents and such. I've got students from Brazil, South Korea, Japan, China, and Russia, all ages, and more every day it seems. I know it's weird to ask type of thing, but frankly, I'll do anything for my students. And if it ends up helping you practice more too, cool. Win win. Youtube name is Cacille, Twitter same.
