Add’s Thailand Video Blog – Lesson 1
Add and I are in Thailand for 6 weeks. This year we’ve decided to show you what our trip is really like, and teach some English at the same time.
Below is the first video blog. Add will be the star of this show for each episode. This video was taken using Add’s Samsung Galaxy Note phone and I think the quality is not bad considering I’m just holding it. Technology is amazing!
Each blog is supposed to be a quick fun way to check out our vacation and learn one new bit of slang English.
The first blog is teaching what a “cannonball” is. The slang meaning in this case is a certain way of jumping into a swimming pool. Watch the short video below and you’ll see! The next time you are in the right situation (at a swimming pool) you can run and jump in the water this way yelling “CANNONBALL”. Native speakers will know what you mean.
It can be a hilarious thing to do when other people are in the pool. The idea is to try to make the biggest splash (the most water come out) as possible.
Go here and click “SUBSCRIBE” (near the top of the page) to get all the lessons!
Love to read your thoughts in the comments section!

Wow, never been to Thailand, but it looks so beautiful.
The video is great, thanks you guys! I’m wondering if the cannonball jumping usually applies to only guys or girls as well? And how about swan diving?
