Hello, world!
I am CHAKIR Taoufik from Morocco. I am a native speaker of Arabic and an almost native speaker of French and English (I have been learning and practicing French for +20 years and English for +15 years now). I am currently learning Spanish and a little bit of Chines :) I have enjoyed teaching and learning here on Italki since day one and I am planning to make it last...
The way I see language learning is a bit philosophical but it also came from my personal experience after being both a student and a teacher for a while. I envision the process of language learning to be similar to the process of growing a tree; you need patience and take care of the plant on a regular basis to get a result that normally can not be pushed ahead of time...But you can always add-in some fertilizers (which are in my case a certain set of technics) to get improved results in terms of time and quality.
Lessons: I prefer that you book packages to show commitment and also to get along with the nature of the process ( as I explained earlier: expect to practice on a regular basis ! ), I am very flexible and I don't have a problem canceling or reporting lessons... I can also use instant messaging apps like Whatsapp if you feel like learning and practicing on the go.
Let's talk technics: I am not a big fan of the Pimsleur method unless it's used with some other tools to remember the vocabulary you learned. For example, Anki flashcards. I prefer to rely on the spaced repetition system pro...My teaching material
