The Great Languages Challenge can be completed during a planned lesson or also set as a language-themed homework task.

Hi everyone! I'm Michelle from Sydney, Australia. I'm an English and German teacher here on italki. I specialise in teaching English for confident communication with native speakers and in-depth explorations of the ins and outs of the German language for English speakers. I have an enormous amount of teaching experience, as I taught mathematics for over 20 years before switching my focus to language education. I love helping my students develop confidence in their target language, and as a language learner myself (currently learning French, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese), I completely understand the challenges associated with learning a new language and how best to overcome them. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of my lessons!

The hardest thing about moving to the UK had nothing to do with English. І mоvеd tо thе UК аt 16. Nо Еnglіѕh. Nо frіеndѕ. Ѕоmеоnе tоld mе tо gеt оut оf thе соuntrу. Тhаt wаѕ mу wеlсоmе.

It's not necessary to travel to other places to learn the culture of other people. Do you agree or disagree : If you ask me, it's better to visit a country on the spot to make the experience greater for instance meeting new people, tasting local dishes and making memorable souvenirs are impossible by watching documentaries and reading books. However not all the individuals over the world could afford travelling especially in farway countries, it’s pricely and we might face cultures shocks and langage barrires
