My teaching background:
Teaching English for 10 years now. Although, having a strong background in technical and business communication, passionate about helping students improve pronunciation and challenging them with homonyms, tongue twisters and introduction to what makes up 50% of English...Latin and Greek! After watching Superman for the first time as a kid, the bed became a logical choice to practice flying. Jumping feverishly as hard as possible, indeed for a few moments the elation of flying developed! However, not knowing how to land very well, it ended in knocking out the front teeth on the headboard. So, started 3 long years of training with a phonetic specialist to correct the lisp that had developed. Hence, one could consider such a person a phonetic specialist, not through years of ardent University study, but more through a passion of wanting to fly.
My background outside of teaching:
Motivated by a big interest in etymology, (word history) and the study of cultures and their relationship with phonology, (sound study), while traveling and living through this miracle of a planet, has made for some colorful adventures that are sure to interest you as we share our experiences.
