Teacher's Dilemma Hi, everyone! :-) I have a bit of a dilemma. I've been teach Irish here in my city for over a year now and love it. Now I'm ready to start teaching English and German as well (via iTalki, Skype, etc). The thing is, most people that want to learn German and Irish already know English, so communication isn't a problem. How do I teach people that want to learn English? I already have lesson plans set up for the other two languages, but I'm not sure how to make one up for English, because it's my native language and I don't think about things like numbers, days, months, vocabulary. I know proper spelling and English grammar extremely well (more so than plenty of other Americans) but...isn't this a case where I need to know what they need help with more so than in Irish or German? If the student doesn't have enough English to tell me what they've learned or not learned, how can I help them? It's a little difficult to explain but hopefully someone understands where I'm coming from here. :-) Thanks in advance! ~_~. Maidhc"I've been teaching Irish," that should say. Sorry, I've been up all night. ^_^
