Teaching English to Foreigners

It's going to be difficult. (Even though I've taken 15 hours of lessons on this.) Good teachers are patient, and patience is not one of my virtues.

I've learned some important things about teaching, though. Essential lesson: be flexible.

Keep things contemporary and personal. Show students how to read a menu--talk about the country they come from--repeat and repeat and repeat.
