ABOUT YOUR TEACHER Teaching English since I was 18 years old, these past few years I’ve taught all kinds of groups and students, from all ages. I’ve discovered that teaching was always there for me, it always inspired me, so when the opportunity of teaching came , I was certain I had to do it.

I decided to create my own material so I can guide my students to the ability of speaking, even with zero knowlegde of English and also contribute to those who already knew some things.

There is always room to learn, doesn’t matter where in your journey you are.

With Love, Teacher Fran

TIPS FOR READING IN ENGLISH

A. CHOOSE A BOOK FOR YOUR LEVEL It’s super frustating to start reading something and not be able to understand it. It’s very likely the book you chose it’s not for your level! Start with simple stories, smaller books (even books for little children) and then, as you study more, you advance in your reading skills too.

B. PRACTICE WITH AUDIOBOOKS This is a combo. You practice your reading and your listening at the same time! You can pause and repeat a word you didn’t know, so your pronunciation is also improving.

C. IF YOU HAVE A KINDLE, USE IT! I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of using an e-reader like the Kindle. Nonsense! It helps us so much because you can click in the vocabulary you don’t know, you can highlight some important parts and make some notes! I personally love it.

D. SEPARE BY THEME, GENRE, PLACE...

If you want to improve your vocabulary, use different styles. A book sets in Britain is going to be extremelly different from one set in America, for example. Use it in your favor. Different ages, places, theme, the list goes on and on.

listening

LISTENING LIST

a. TV series showing hobbies.

Emily In Paris - Blogging She is American going to France to work. Pay attention to two things: how she starts blogging as a free time activity (gaining huge proporsions).

Netflix

It’s also interesting to notice how she starts to learn a new language, also a hobby.

Glee - Singing Some of the students take the Glee Club (a singing class) as a future profession. But not all of them. Some are just there to have some fun.

Netflix

It’s good to practice your listening with the songs they sing, so practice by singing along!

Anne with an E - Reading She absolutely loves to read. In a time that not all people could afford or even were interested in reading, Anne loves to be taken into the worlds she reads about.

Netflix

Her accent and the vocabulary used in the series is also a plus to improve your listening skills.
