My name is Rakeb Debalkew. I am a 30 years old Ethiopian language enthusiast. I was born and raised here in Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. Amharic is my first language and my Native. I was raised in a democratic and free family that let me reflect my own color and identity. I see my parents and siblings in me, and they are the shiniest part of my identity. If any one asks me to answer the question "Who are you?" beyond my name, I would say that I am my family. I am all the wonderful teachers I had, all the friends I embarked on. I am confident, I am courageous, I am enthusiastic and I am bold and forward. There is not a single thing I regret and I love that about myself. I truly value what I have!
Me as a Teacher
I was raised in a family of teachers, both my Father and Mother were teachers. Some say that teaching is in my blood. On the first two to three years of my life after graduating from university, the first profession I have embarked on was teaching Spoken English. I remember my first class, it should have been terrifying but genuinely speaking my first class seemed like my hundredth. I stepped in a took control of the class room that is filled with students that were twice my age. I think nothing can better explain what I am like as a teacher than this first class story. I believe that God has given me a golden talent on the are of teaching. It is my true ambition, it is what I am!
My lessons & teaching style
I intend on making my Amharic lessons as interactive as possible. But the beginning shall be a bit strict and focused so that my students are in line with the major grammatical rules of Amharic. Once the basics are captured, then every singly class shall start with a power point lesson of something major grammatically, then a listening exercise of the lesson of the day, a speaking exercise of the lesson of the day. I would give out the "Words of the day" and "Expression of the days" where I will provide five words and expressions each day for my students. I intend on keeping the classes easy, friendly and interactive.

Today Rakeb and I read 13 facts about Ethiopia and translated them. It was a very good way to understand more about the sentence structure of Amharic.

Rakeb taught me the alphabet with its different sounds. We even read a short stories. By the end of the lesson I could write the first Amharic words :-)

Rakeb is an incredibly gifted and passionate instructor. Because I came in with some Amharic experience she was able to tailor the lessons so that it would benefit me. She’s also very reassuring throughout the whole process which made me comfortable, a huge plus if you struggle, like I do, finding the confidence to try and speak a new language.

Rakeb taught me how to say different fruits in Amharic. Then we went on to have a dialogue for introductions.
We're making a lot of progress :D
