We can find the best path to your level of education! Working with me, we will challenge ourselves to read and write. If your goal is self expression, then we shall use words and grammar to not only amplify your literary needs, but your spoken vocabulary, immensely. Those with more precise goals of certifiable education, such as the GCSE are achievable; however, an assessment of current knowledge will need to be done so we can begin focusing on the best path to success. Message me about your wants and needs and we can forge this path together!
I welcome all learners of all levels!
Before we begin, I ask that you read through the beginner examples below to verify what level of information you’re currently retaining. When we talk for the first time, we will review this opening section below to rectify the best approach to teaching you as my student.
Beginners will find that speaking with me, we will learn to phonetically break down words of difficulty. Understanding the structure of complicated words will help identify complexities in annunciation and understand differentiation between similar appearing words with completely different definitions. The English language is diverse in riddles and we will be able to tackle these idioms together. After a few lessons in basic reviews of word structures and common problems, we should have no issues moving onto the next level.
Learning to speak? Let’s review some basics. Look at the definition of these words and then try to pronounce these phonetic versions of the word out loud if you’re unsure of how the word is spoken. We can review it together if you have trouble. Remember, mistakes are how we make progress, so let me help you get the most out of your lesson.
Examples:
Coherency - forming a logically consistent and unified thought between two parties.
“The two political parties had a strong coherency between their tax policies.”
Phonetic pronunciation:
Ko-hier-uhn-cee
Illustration - an image offering a clear indication of data to serve as an example.
“The ‘New York Times’ illustrated the latest stock changes with charts and graphs.”
Phonetic pronunciation:
Ill-us-tray-shun
—------------------------------------------
Something to know about me, I’ve worked with kids who have speaking issues. If I can understand you when you repeat a vocal lesson, and you know how to use the word in a sentence. We won't waste time tackling the next lesson, as long as I know you’ve got the lesson down. We can round out and perfect things down the road and I can give you homework to focus your ability to pronounce the words I notice you may have difficulty with. Learning to speak like an American can help and be fun, but my ultimate goal is for you to learn as much as possible from me. We make a million mistakes before we ever make perfect. This is your time, so if you want me to focus more on a specific area of our lesson because you’re having a hard time, then just ask.
—-------------------------------------------
Let’s take a look at some similar looking words with different meanings.
Keen vs Kin
Seen vs Sin
With a keen eye, we know who is foe and who is kin
Keen - well developed and eager with enthusiasm.
Kin - of or related too, one's own family.
When we have seen lies, we know how to spot sin.
Seen - past participle of see, to have viewed.
Sin - an immoral act
You would imagine that reading these words, they sound the same; however, the double ‘ee’ bonds to the beginning letter while the ‘i’ bonds to the last.
‘Keen’ and ‘Seen’ produce a ‘Ki’ and ‘Si’ sound, followed by the lower ‘n’;
where as
‘Kin’ and ‘Sin’ produce the lower ‘k’ and ‘s’ sound followed by a more dominant ‘In’
—--------------------------------------
Are you wondering what idioms are?
In class, Li is all ears.
Joe is a real straight shooter at work.
Can you spot the idioms?
Idiom: turn of phrase used to express a meaning that cannot be derived from the combined elements. For most uses, the expression is heavily exaggerated.
Tell me what you think the idioms are in these examples and then tell me what you think they mean.
—---------------------------------------
Check out this list of words:
Peek vs Peak - look quickly; the highest point.
(Pi-k)
There vs Their vs They’re - directive; ownership; contraction of they are
(ð-Air)
Accept vs Except - to take something openly; to exclude
(ecK-Sep-t)
Effect vs Affect - noun to change in result of a cause; verb to impact with change
(uh-FeK-t)
Two vs Too vs To - number, a couple; adverb replacing excess; preposition indicating direction.
(tu;t-ou)
These are my favorite types of riddles in the English language. We call these homophones.
Specifically, these words are spoken completely identically phonetically. The only way to tell them apart is by connotation, which means that you have to pay extra attention to what is being said before you can interpret what the person is saying. There are at least 6000 homophones in English, but don’t let that scare you. Every language has homophones and together, we can master them.
—----------------------------------------------
Intermediate
At this point we will have been introduced to several types of grammatical developments just by learning basic fundamental concepts that can be fun. In the English language we try to write complete sentences and avoid combining two complete ideas by using a preposition. If absolutely necessary to flow two ideas together, the use of punctuation can be utilized to accomplish this coherent task easily. When we write our ideas and concepts there are several rules we follow and we’ll dive into that together. In essays released for submission with regards to other works that have come prior to ours, we must cite quotes to validate our sources. We never take credit for things that do not belong to us, doing so is called plagiarism. We will discuss the best methods to avoid making mistakes to retain credible plausibility and complete genuine self expression.
Advanced
Reading, writing and verbal comprehension. The ultimate goal is to be completely literate and well mannered with fluent communication in the English Speaking Language. When we are done, you should have complete confidence in your ability to communicate as an individual in American English.
—-----------------------------------------------------
Throughout my teachings, we will tackle poetry, sonnets, and other literary works from plays to books and even scientific articles to help illustrate prime examples of what is possible.
