Welcome to Cool English, my name is John, and I created this site to give teachers fun interactive activities to use in class with their students. I always wanted the site to be free with limited ads and donations to pay the server costs. During the pandemic, users increased significantly along with my AWS hosting costs, yet google ad revenue and donations aren't covering even half of the costs. That is why I am forced to change the site to a subscription modal.


I know this is not optimal for many of you, but I promise to keep the pricing fair and include a free tier. Full details will be available when the new site goes live next week. My dream is to create new activities every day instead of every week. Normally I only have time to build new stuff late at night or on weekends as I teach 8-9 classes every day. I genuinely believe that with your help, I can grow Cool English to be the most complete resource for ESL/EFL teachers around the world.


Thank you for supporting me over these past few years, and I hope you join me on this next step of the journey. I promise to constantly improve the site with engaging and exciting material. While providing the modern and dynamic experience that you deserve.


John

i would pay 5$ for a 1 off fee for life time membership or to buy it as an app as a teaching resource. a 1 time flat fee. a 10 day trial and 2$ usd app purchase for a full version i believe is a fair price. it is a real shame this isnt free for teachers . i enjoyed using it in my class. as I would only use it for a 3-5 minute warm up game with only a few advaced students i can not justify a monthly subscription with so many other great free resources out there. i enjoyed the free service while it was on offer. I like your product. as a teacher online with…

Thanks Gregor, I really appreciate the great ideas, I actually have a connect 4 game on the site that my students love and some recipe games, but I will look into the spot the diff game and I agree about the free trial. I am still learning the technical part of doing that but I will probably do it in August.


The server costs suck but I am trying to reduce it by compressing the videos and photos I use. Their large size is part of the problem. I am trying to move the site from Wix to Wordpress and that should allow me a lot more options with the free tier and their ability to see all the content.
