Pumpkin.com...Help!?!
« on: April 15, 2011, 10:26:48 am »
Anyone know what happened to this site? This is the site with British accent talking pumpkins. It had some great videos and my kids love them, but when I went to YouTube today they were removed and the site itself doesn't seem to exist. Anyone know anything about this????
The subject of the one video I really needed was "What's this?".

http://pumkin.com

If you're using Google Chrome its a right royal pain to get to as it runs spellcheck over short URLs.

The accents aren't all actually British, which is what I like. Each character has a different accent, from British to various east and west coast American so it exposes students to them all. Also, if you've seen their pay site for student self-study (there's a free tour), they're the only place I've ever seen identify typing as an essential language skill and incorporate game theory into a course. Good stuff. Especially the free videos. ;)

It's a useful site alright - Just be careful about the spelling if you're typing it :
There's no second 'P' in it - pumkin.
