#1 – Fantastic Quotes and Where To Find Them
We introduced the concept of not just compiling Fantastic Quotes, but also provided the context i.e. the articles, in which these quotes were used.
2021
Fantastic Quote and where to find them
We also showed you how to use them!
2022
We will keep up this streak,
With at least one on YouTube each week!
Watch out for more quotes within each of the articles, and also on our Fantastic Quotes page and in the videos that we are regularly posting on our YouTube channel.
#2 – Fantastic Words and How To Use Them
One of the core principles of our approach is to keep things simple in line with the ELISA principle that expands to Explain Like I Am Six Years of Age. So, we introduced the Fantastic Words series that helps our readers across varying degrees of proficiency in the English language read, understand and get value from the content published on our site.
2021
Fantastic Words and where to find them,
But worthless if you don’t know how to use them!
2022
On YouTube the next word will come up soon,
Fantastic words coming up each day at noon.
Fantastic words won’t just be part of your dictionary,
You will have context, so use it in your vocabulary.
We have started with a series of video #shorts on our YouTube channel, that will not just provide you with the meaning of words, but also point you to real-world examples of how these words were used. And you guessed it right, these real-world examples are drawn from articles on our website itself!
#3 – Fortune Cookies
Heard of a website where the Cookies inform the visitors? At, FTEM, each page has a (not so) hidden Fortune Cookie towards the bottom of the page.
2021
Not a cookie that tracks, but a cookie that tells
Each time you visit a page, your future is up on stage!
2022
A cookie on each page of our site does tell,
Now, a cookie on YouTube each day as well!
The cookies have made their way from our website to our YouTube channel and we have a new video with a Fortune Cookie on our YouTube channel each day. We eagerly look forward to brighter and happier fortunes for each one of you in 2022.
