Short paragraph about the TEFL-course, Module 1 of 5 Help, please! I am not a native English speaker, and I have not had my English corrected for a number of years, so I'll be grateful for any corrections/comments :) Short paragraph about my study So far, I find the asynchronous manner of this course very effective. There are some concepts, new to me, and other aspects of teaching online that I needed time to consider and memorize, and I cannot imagine a better way of achieving these new skills. The structure of the learning materials appeared and worked well for me, step by step. For me, it is good to study when I have time, without a deadline. Furthermore, I find the possibility of asking for advice very helpful. As for the content of Module 1 versus my thoughts on learning online, it is hard to define and compare. I had not made it clear to myself, what I wanted or expected in the course, but the content of Module 1 has opened new horizons for me, expanded my list of possible students, and helped me clarify for myself, what kinds of jobs I’m looking for, so I may say that the content aligns very well with my thoughts on learning online. I expect that this course will make me a better teacher and give me new inspiration. As self-educated, I have been teaching Danish online for 5 years now from the same platform. My students make real good progress, but I started feeling burnt-out. I expect the course to give me new energy, like making a fresh start. Furthermore, I shall consider adding English to my teacher profile, with the new self-confidence due to the course. Moreover, a certificate will make it easier to get more students. (The assignment was: "1. What are your initial impressions of this course? Did you find the asynchronous manner in which it was delivered effective? How did the content align with your thoughts on learning online? How do you expect this course will help you as you begin your teaching online journey?")

Mosulti ko ug binisaya, pero gamay lang Niabot ko sa Pilipinas adto niagi tulo ka tuig. Nipuyo ko sa Cebu, sauna sa Tungkop, Minglanilla, unya sa Carcar City. Nagpuyo ko karon sa Bacong, Dumaguete.

About past tense, had happened, was happening How do I say this in Cebuano? While I was reading a book, someone shouted "ayo" at my gate. I had just finished reading a book, when someone shouted "ayo" at my gate.

Sige moadto nako! Sige moadto nata! Exact meaning and case of nako and nata? In my book "Cebuano for Foreigner" I use the sentence "Sige moadto nako". Cebuano having different use of cases for pronouns, I thought "nako" was accusative. But I came to think that maybe it could be a contraction of "na" and "ko". Can someone help me with this, please.
