English
My parents emigrated from Germany to California, USA in the late 1950’s where I was born and raised. I graduated from High School in San Francisco and went on to earn a Bachelors degree in English and Music from Sonoma State University in California.
I began teaching English as a second language after moving to Germany 20 years ago. I’ve taught English in the classical classroom as well as in many companies for over 18 years.
I’ve been coaching English online using Skype for 5 years now. I’m really enthusiastic about using modern technology to help people practice and improve their English.
Music is my passion. I’m a singer, play the guitar and enjoy African drumming on the djembe.
Learning English is like learning songs. You learn the melody and rhythm from listening and repeating over and over again.
And most of all, you enjoy it!

Good course, I think that is a little slow the way to learn on this but it's very complete and good explained on how to make the correct pronunciation of the words. All that I need is practice and practice. My voice still sounds with my Mexican accent but I think it's better now. Thanks for this course.
By Mike on 7/26/2021
I had been mispronouncing many words for years before taking this course, but now I know the rules and correct pronunciation for many words: sword (silent w), cupboard (silent p), family (2 syllables for most Americans, so it's fam-lee, not fam-uh-lee), vegetable (3 syllables), etc. It's a well thought-out course and the listening tests at the end of many lessons are a nice touch.
By Sara Maki Salman on 6/14/2021
Its a good course but not for me, I can speak English well, just wanted to be able to be able to speak more naturally also this course seems to be focused more on people of an Asian origin
