Let’s Talk! Easy, Natural American English Practice Hi there! I’m Ethan Crossman, a polyglot from the US with a bachelor’s degree in Linguistics, specializing in foreign language acquisition. Over the past 10 years, I’ve been an active language learner and user of iTalki, and now I’m excited to finally share what I’ve learned by teaching others. I love exploring languages, cultures, and the ways they shape how we communicate. Besides languages, I love riding my bicycle and walking dogs! I’m passionate about helping students gain confidence in speaking and understanding new languages. My goal is to create a friendly and supportive environment where learners feel comfortable practicing, making mistakes, and improving step by step. I enjoy tailoring lessons to each student’s needs and learning style, making language learning fun. My lessons are conversational and interactive, focusing on real-life natural communication. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to polish your skills, I'll guide you through meaningful conversations that help you use the language from our first encounter.

The course experience was very good. Ethan would promptly point out my grammatical mistakes, and the conversation was very enjoyable.

I mentioned at the beginning that my main goal is not just to be understood, but to sound natural in English, and Ethan has consistently respected that throughout many lessons. He regularly corrects my phrasing and explains how a native speaker would actually say something, which is exactly what I was hoping for. His easy-going teaching style makes the lessons comfortable and productive. He’s also willing to interrupt when something sounds unnatural, which is really helpful for my learning style because I can fix mistakes immediately instead of continuing with incorrect phrasing. Another thing I appreciate is that he speaks Chinese. Occasionally being able to ask for a quick translation or clarification helps me understand certain nuances much faster. Overall, the lessons are very effective, and I feel like I’m making steady progress toward speaking more natural English.
