Ask a Native Speaker < ask john >

My name is John Warnken I am a native speaker who lives in middle America near Memphis Tennessee. I have been tutoring English using Skype for 3 years. I have been italki member almost 3 years. I am also a teacher of computers and internet technology. I will try to help you understand English from the perspective of the native speaker.

Currently I am tutoring a class of High School studnets in Indonesia. I met their ESL teacher here in italki.    My efforts are now profiled on Oprah.com and I am part of the Oprah Angel Network.   http://oprahsangelnetwork.org/stories/661-using-skype-to-learn-a-new-language

You can also hear me in youtube I have several videos aimed at a language learner. To find my video search for jbwarnken it will show all my youtube video. If you ask me a question I may answer by making video on youtube.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJqcjNerOos

I am very busy but will try to answer questions for you. I also have website called   itutorforyou I tutor for you itutorforyou.com where I have english lessons.

The most difficult part of learning English is the spoken part. Conversational English is not the same as written English.   So take your time and be patient. It will take time and practice to learn. Do not be afraid to make a mistake just try until you succeed.

Thanks

John Warnken

Dear Mr. Warnken;

Before I ask some questions to you, first, I would like to acquaint myseft . My name is Hery and I just graduated from one of Universities in Yogyakarta several months ago, and right now I am working as a DND(Dot net Developer) and an IT support in cell phones distributor in Jakarta . I have been joining italki since Ocotober 17th 2008. In this case, I have a big curiosity to learn more about English, that's why I dont hesitate to join into any chat room or site for learning English and express myself and any part of conversation with my own style.

I got this message from a friend of mine whose name is Ms.Help. After I read your text, I have some questions, they are :
1. The English tutor that you offer is for free or charged? ( The tutor through skype)
2. What day and time do you always open your class? (The tutor through skype)
3. Are you living in Jakarta? if You are, do you offer an english course there?

Anyway, those the questions that I am asking for. I look forward to having your confirmation.
From the deepest of my heart, I would like to say, Thanks a million...

your sincerely,

Hery
