  • Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

    I speak English fluently because of my origins. I am a native speaker that was born and raised in the state of PA in the United States of America.
  • Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    It would be so difficult just to name one! I think the character Jim from The Office is a great representation of North American culture. He's a normal guy working in a (somewhat) normal company. He has strong family values as we can see as the series develops. He speaks simple English, but it's always spoken in a colloquial way. Joe Rogan is also worth mentioning though he isn't a character, but rather a real person. He's conversational and a very popular interviewer in America. He's always himself, but nice to everyone and uses modern language. The questions he asks while conducting interviews are representative of information that a lot of people want to know.
  • Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behaviour in the language that you particularly like?

    "Oh my gosh" is probably one of my favorites!
    You can say it when annoyed, surprised, sarcastic, happy... There are really a lot of situations where this phrase comes in handy.
  • Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    It's a huge part of my life! The people that made the first impressions on me all the way into my adult life were English speakers (because it is my mother tongue). I've learned how to learn, compromise, teach, apologize, convince, write, read, think, joke and express myself in every other way in English.
  • What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    I believe the main difficulty for many people is pronunciation. English is not a phonetic language, and aside from that, many people in foreign countries may learn English vocabulary and English grammar but then they don't use it for a long time - or barely ever use it at all outside of school until years later. This leads to improper pronunciation that is difficult for others (particularly native speakers) to understand. To remedy this, a lot of time and active effort is required. But that's why I'm here to help you!
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    I remember once my friend and I had an argument about how to spell the word "safety". We were probably 6 or 7 years old at the time. I insisted that the word contains the letter e - and she insisted that it didn't because she couldn't hear that sound in the word. She got very upset that I disagreed with her. But I wouldn't give in! I was confident about how to spell this word correctly. Still not realizing that I was right, she threw a marker at me and it hit me really hard below the clavicle! At the time, sure, it wasn't funny at all. But it makes me laugh now since I'm an English Tutor.
  • How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    Traveling to Istanbul, Turkey made me realize how much I could help foreign speakers improve their pronunciation and understanding of English. They would tell me about their cultural perception, speaking problems, the things in English that always confused them, and what they were taught from other ESL speakers. So all in all, that trip helped me to understand what issues ESL speakers are constantly dealing with.
  • What makes you a Superprof in language?

    Succeeding to help ESL learners improve their English so they can reach their goals makes me a Superprof! but it's more than that. Assisting my students to feel comfortable and gain confidence in themselves during every lesson is essential.
