Hobbies
Communicative approach focusing on understanding and being understood. Develop a strong grammar base, while introducing practical vocabulary and making students comfortable in conversation and real-life situations involving listening, reading, speaking and writing. Introduce students to culture and mentality of the language, so as to understand how to adapt to a foreign language situation. I allow students to use their own individual techniques for success together with a continuous emphasis on practice exercises in academic/social/business/travel settings. Students are immersed in grammar, vocabulary, conversation and pronunciation. Lessons are adapted to student's specific needs and requests. Practical activities, situations and various learning materials are applied, including reading materials, music, films, news clips and games. Exam, writing and job preparation offered. Translations and interpreting also available upon request.
