Habla Inglés?

I learned English when I was 8 years old. My parents moved to America from Germany and stuck me into a classroom full of English speakers, even though the language was completely foreign to me. For one and a half years thereafter I listened, and practiced, trying to comprehend and finally learned to speak fluent English. Since then, a whole new world opened up to me. The amount of people I was able to communicate with increased exponentially. This ultimately increases my chances for job opportunities, university acceptances and travel destinations. I think English is the best and most useful gift my parents have ever given me, and I want to give it back and share it with other people. Hence, I wanted to teach English and empower other people with the skill to communicate with the main international language.

Watching the children learn slowly but surely was wonderful to watch. Seeing their progress and determination to master new words and expressions made me so happy. Many of them realize how many new doors would open up to them if they mastered the language and I was glad to help them even a little bit in the process towards reaching their goal.
