How has the internet helped me as a self-taught learner（Pt.3） Part1: https://www.italki.com/entry/720703 Part2: https://www.italki.com/entry/720990 Looking back, I was lucky that my eyes got bad AFTER I've already got the basic tool of English under my belt, and I happen to live in a time where there's internet and the endeavor of open courses to equalize the opportunity for education. —————————————————— Naturally I felt it's inappropriate to put these in my profile as an italki teacher, for it'll appear to be irrelevant or even unprofessional. Speaking of professional, in comparison I enjoy more the informal chatting I had with my language-partner, where we exchanged ideas and personal stories freely while learning from each other. That kind of rapport was what I was looking forward to when I applied to be an italki teacher. I wanted to help a fellow language learner with my experience in learning second language (it can be so enjoyable, like I learnt a lot from Harry Potter and Friends), also, I wish to be in the company of a kindred spirit who's curious to learn about the world around and beyond. 'Curiosity' may define me the most. Phew, this essay turns out to be much longer than I'd expected, and perhaps have gone on a different direction than the title suggests. I've presented myself as the 'person' instead of the 'teacher', which is a little scary to be honest. Thank you for your time if you've read this far, please correct any weird language you spotted, I know I may have gotten many words' meaning mistaken all along but had no way to find out since there's no feedback. I love to help fellow language learners with their practicing (either Chinese or English), because in the process of communication and exchange, I too will get to learn about their diverse cultures and perspectives. And this will be yet another amazing thing internet is bringing me. :)
