Pouvez-vous m'aider à corriger ce texte pour ma vidéo? Bonjour, Je m'appelle Carimar. Je suis vénézuélien et j'ai été professeure d'espagnol pendant 4 ans. Au cours de ces 4 années, je me suis spécialisée dans l'enseignement des personnes qui veulent apprendre ces deux langues à partir de zéro. Je peux enseigner aux étudiants qui ne savent absolument rien de la langue qu'ils veulent apprendre grâce à l'utilisation des nombreux présentations que j'ai faites, à partir de divers livres, et grâce à une méthode d'enseignement que j'ai apprise enseignant dans un institut de langues au Venezuela. En plus d'enseigner aux débutants, j'ai aussi beaucoup d'expérience dans l'enseignement de l'espagnol aux étudiants intermédiaires ou avancés. Avec ces étudiants je me focalise pour les aider à améliorer leur fluidité, et s'ils ont des faiblesses sur un point de grammaire, nous travaillons à travers des conversations, des lectures ou des audio où on met l'accent sur le point de grammaire à améliorer. Si vous voulez apprendre l'espagnol ou l'anglais à partir de rien, ou si vous voulez améliorer votre fluidité et votre prononciation, n'hésitez pas à me contacter et je vous assure que je ferai de mon mieux pour vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs linguistiques.

Why am I doing what I’m doing? (2) And that’s why I decided to stay and why I still want to stay despite all the problems I may encounter. So I saw myself deciding to stay in Venezuela to help, but I was working almost all day and volunteering just few hours, because of that I decided to move to Caracas, because not only all of the organisations I could volunteer with are in Caracas but also that I could really learn there. So when I started to get involve in all of these volunteering activities I took the decision of working less, to be able to do all the things I want to do to accomplish my dreams. So now I work a lot during the day on things I don’t get paid for and at the end of the day I have to work. But when I start to think negatives thoughts like when am I going to have money to do the things I want to do like travel, or visit my family,or eat the things I want to eat, I remember that I need to honor the dream of that 16 year old girl and this 26 year old girl, and that I have to honor all the decisions that I have made during this last years! And although my dreams are not going to allow me to have money to travel I don’t regret anything, cause I rather to live a life doing the things I love rather than live a life just to make money. And yes, money is definitely very important but working on my dreams is more! So yeah, on days like today I need to remind myself why do I do all the crazy stuff I do. And now my dreams of traveling have become a dream of traveling in the hearts of people!

Why am I doing what I’m doing? Sometimes when negatives thoughts come to my mind I asked myself “WHY?” Why did I say “no” to an incredible job offer in the oil industry? after spending 5 years studying engineering, 3 years looking for a job in that area, and when I was going through a bad economical situation. Why do I refuse to leave my country?, when the political and economical situation is so bad and a lot of people is leaving to find a better future, and I know I would never be able to buy a car or a house because just really rich people can do that. Why did I reduce my teaching availability hours, hence earning few money? Which means I won’t be able to go backpacking or travel the way I want. Why do I do tons of things during the day like volunteering, researching, studying...? when I know that after all of that, at night, I have to work, hence having no time to relax during a long day. Why do I do all those crazy stuff? Well, everything started when I was 16, and I had a vision of me doing something for others, helping others. During so many years after that I ignored that vision, but last year I decided I wasn’t going to ignore it anymore. I said to myself that I was going to do everything to accomplish the dream of that 16 year old girl, and that’s why I said no to the job offer, because even though at that moment I didn’t have any money or any idea of how to accomplish my dreams, I did know that working as a petroleum engineer wasn’t going to take me to the path I wanted to walk, so what I only had back then was the dream of helping people and the wish of finding a job that would allow me to work half of the day and the rest of the day look for ways on how to make my dream come true! So I found that perfect job, teaching gave me the opportunity to work during half of my day and do something for my dream the other half, but I still had a little problem, I had no idea what to do to start working on my dreams, so what I did was to work for 8 or 9 hours daily, hence earning a lot of money, then people started to ask why don’t you go and live in another country if you have the money to do it? you would have a better future, why are you staying here? and I would just say to myself; well because if everyone leaves, who stays here? who stays here to try to solve the mess we are in? who stays here to be part of the solution? My reason for staying was and is that I want to help where is needed, and oh Venezuela needs a lot of help!... It continues...

Expresing my thoughts. Hi, Lately I've been feeling that I need to write and share a lot of the things that I think about, so I've been writing some of those stuff in my native language (Spanish) on my Facebook page, but I also what to write those stuff in English, I don't want to do it in my Facebook page because people would think I'm just showing off and also because most of my friends speak Spanish, so what's the point of writing it in English (No one will read it). So I have decided to share those thoughts here on Italki because first it would allow my students to get to know a little bit about me and second because people could correct my mistakes (hopefully they will) and hence I would improve my English writing skills. You see there was something else that made me want to write specially here, and that was a thought that I had after teaching a class. After teaching this class I started thinking what motivate people to teach a language and if they really want to make their students learn or just want to earn money! I'm not saying I'm here just because I love the job (I do love it), but i'm also here because of the money (because, well I need to eat) but even though this is not my career of choice there is one thing that I do know and is that if you are going to do something, you have to do your best! That's why even though I'm not a perfect teacher (I'm not even a professional teacher) I try to do my best to make my students learn, and always focus in helping them get to know more vocabulary and have more fluency! But what really makes me angry is to see the huge amount of teachers that are doing this just for the money without even paying attention to see if the student is learning something or not, it makes me sad that they don't focus on helping them improve. I don't want to criticize anyone I just want to shared my point of view and advice those teachers out there, that I understand that you need to earn money but you also need to think that students are paying you to learn, so you should devote yourself to make your students learn. Because well, what's the point of doing something and not doing it right, what does that says about you? I think that this not only apply for teaching, these also applies for every profession, so wherever you are and whatever your situation might be, remember that what you have is what you have decided to have, so if you decided to do something at least try to do it the best way possible and to be best you can be! Love, Cari.
