Большое спасибо за видео. I subscribed immediately. I love your presentations and was wondering if you could tell me what software you use to prepare them and whether it is easy to use. Ещё раз, Браво!

Спасибо, очень рад, что ролики нравятся! I'm on a Mac, so I use Keynote for slides & most animations; GarageBand for recording; Amadeus or Audacity for editing the audio; then Screenflow (great app) to capture the slides & sync up the audio. It's a little more involved than if I just used Screenflow to record audio while going through the slides, but this approach gives more flexibility for adjusting timing and editing mistakes.

the sentence "Я в течение 3-х лет возила детей в Англию" makes no sense in russian. It means that the action happened an infinite amount of times and it's quite possible even every day for 3 years, which is utter nonsense because the destination (England) literally implies that the action started somewhere beyond England. When you want to say that children have stayed there for 3 years, you should say ''Я отвезлА / возИла детей на 3 года в Англию'' and there is no way around.

Yes, of course we use на (with accusative) to express the time following an action: Я приехал в Россию на неделю. = I've come to Russia for a week. Я отвезла детей на дачу на лето. I've taken the kids to the dacha for the summer. I understood this particular sentence to mean that over the course of 3 years, she (a teacher) took children, her students, to England (several times). Perhaps including more of the context would have made this clearer (but there's only so much room on a slide!): Я в течение 3-х лет возила детей в Англию. К сожалению, в связи с необходимостью личной явки в посольство, сейчас этот вариант «бюджетного совершенствования языка» для учителя отпал. Такие поездки незабываемы. Дети понимают, зачем они учат язык, приобретают опыт общения со сверстниками, а для учителя ― это шанс увидеть всё, чему они обучают детей. A search for возила детей в Англию at ruscorpora.ru will lead you to the more complete context. :)

Если в конце вашего примера добавить 'на летние каникулы к бабушке', то в целом так сказать уже можно. Сильно зависит и контекста, подтекста. К примеру, 'Я в течении 3х лет возила детей в Англию. А они совершенно забыли об этом, когда выросли!'. Update: sorry, checked authors answer after I wrote my initial response. It shows even better example
