We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Ursla Le Guin (1929-2018)

National Book Foundation speech, 2014

See You - Speak English!

Function: Goodbye

Words: 44

Duration: 0:47

Aim: Finish on a high note - speak English every day!

Goodbye, goodbye - speak English!
Goodbye, goodbye - speak English!
Goodbye, goodbye - speak English!
Speak English, every day!

See you, see you - speak English!
See you, see you - speak English!
See you, see you - speak English!
Speak English, every day!

Usage:

Whatever Goodbye song you use, the important thing is to use it consistantly. I'm good at using this song to finish a class but appauling at using it to finish a presentation - I've only managed it once!

For some children this song is nothing more than BGM but in some classes we often end up dancing around the room. It's great to end a class with a bang!
