WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!

BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances – respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!

But i dont think so that theres a more differenc
e can happen.correct me if i am wrong.

HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand

WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him – not wanting to leave him out – instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!

❤❤❤❤❤thanks.

i am panic, English is very difficult, my language Tamil, it has 247 letter of which 12 vowels and 18consonent both are join and produce 216 letters totally 246+1 =247letter therefore more easy in learning the Tamil language., 247letters are separate sound and standard. very few confused only there. but english more confused sound and spelling...

Hi dear Liz , hope you are fantastic
If one makes front vowels using tip of the tongue at the very front then these resonates better coz then tip of the tongue including the front back area spreads (for front vowels tongue covers whole area between two sides of teeth, lips becomes wider) so the more space in the mouth, throat and soft palate lifts up.
Then if one makes sound very accurately then resonance gets created automatically.
What do you say about it?

once I was told the best way to pronounce this sound is to open the mouth in a way as to pronounce the vowel A but pronounce the vowel E instead.
