I enjoy teaching English

It is better to be cautious about advising people to find a foreigner to talk to in order to improve language skills....Natives come with a price tag (in various forms) or they inform you outright that they do not want to be taken advantage of. Language exchange can be a better idea. Then again I know many natives who have been living in Poland for several years and aren't interested at all in learning Polish. That's life. It is better to look for other learners who are passionate about English and willing to practise it :). Good luck!

Hi, Magdalena!
Of course I agree when you say natives demand money for helping you. But all the teachers work for money nowadays. When I teach a foreigner he pays me and I'm ready to pay him for his help. The thing is that very often some native speakers who are volunteers in your country come and talk to you without any pay. I just want to say we have to use any chance to speak English. Though a lot of ESL teachers speak English in the classrooms only.

"I enjoy teaching English". I repeat these four words over and over and they help me to have good results in teaching. When I get bored while teaching I stop it and do something interesting.
1.What do you do to make your lessons more interesting?
2.Do you really enjoy teaching or not?
3.Is teaching a job or a favourite hobby for you?

Hi, Noni!
Don't pay attention to the mistakes while speaking and never be ashamed if you want to be successful in learning English. Remember only one thing: all of us make mistakes while speaking even native speakers. Can you imagine the president of the USA Mr Bush makes mistakes too but he is never ashamed.

For the president it's a shame. He has to be very educated not to make a single mistake 'cause so many people listen to his speeches.But in spoken English making mistakes isn't so shameful as it's more important to explain correctly what you want to say. Cheers!

Who usually pronounces these words:"I enjoy teaching English."? Teachers? yes, you are right. While teaching we learn a lot of new things. That's why I want to add one more word to this thread:

I enjoy teaching and learning English.
What do you think?
