Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching officially as a community teacher since 2014. I have been teaching Luganda and Ugandan Sign Language in groups and to individuals. I teach those who start to speak a new language and those who want to improve their grammar, from children to adults.
My lessons & teaching style
Every language is picked by its sound. So we begin with sounds of the language except for sign language. Then I prepare the subsequent topics depending on the needs of the student. I use power point slides that suit my students depending on their age or level of language proficiency. One thing we are sure is we all make mistakes this is part of the adventure. So Laugh, Learn, and Go on.
Erick's lessons are always enjoyable & thoroughly prepared, but I also admire him a lot for creating his own system to teach Luganda, for diving deep into all that confusing linguistics matter to find answers to his students' questions & to present better explanations. Luganda is my first African language to really get acquainted with & there are so many fascinating things to discover but thanks to Erick it never feels impossible š

Erick is an outstanding teacher who is always patient and helpful, and is able to clarify any questions that I might come across. It has been quite a journey and I'm astonished by how much Luganda I am able to speak and understand at this point, and I owe it all to Erick. Without him, I wouldn't have come this far

Sorry, he talks a bit to slow and goes slow on material for me. I feel like half the time he wanted to talk about next lesson rather than spend time on learning in the current lesson.
