541. Over the gaps of learning


One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “Quite a number of friends of mine ask me how to learn English. They’re young professionals or students of last years of college, and they need English, more than ever before. Some of them read novels, study to pass official examinations, listen to something on a web-site, learn words and expressions. That’s okay. Everything is positive. Everything adds up. Everything is a step forwards. I tell them, like a summary of my experience and other teachers’ that speaking is essential. Some of them talk with me in English, but it’s hard to them to carry on by doing so, because it takes quite an effort, and we both are Spaniards, and obviously it’s a bit weird to speak in English. Anyway, we keep talking in English. They show me paper examinations they’ve done as well, and I try to tell them some helpful advice.” / Photo from: 1969-Dodge-Charger-General-Lee-DOH-Jump-Swamp seriouswheels com
