Have you met Elizabeth Farrell yet?
Elizabeth
Farrell has lived in Charleston for 6 years. She moved here from New
Jersey, right outside of New York City. Elizabeth was teaching English
as a Second Language through Counterpoint Language School in New
Jersey. Through this position, she met many fascinating and
wonderful students from all over the world. She enjoys reading,
playing
with her 5 year old son Liam, and spending time with close friends.
Teaching English has been extremely rewarding for
Elizabeth. She is passionate about teaching, and feels there is
nothing better than providing a voice for others to communicate. Every
class is a new and different experience. One of the greatest moments
in teaching is when a student is able to make a joke in English. What
a feat! Humor, patience and passion are the keys to learning. Class
would not be complete without a few good laughs.
What tips does Elizabeth suggest for learning English?
1) Practice, Practice, Practice. Do not be afraid to speak, and speak freely! Do not worry about making mistakes.
2) Don't think too much. Let your mind go. The less you try to translate from your language first, the better!
3) Review, Review, Review. Study that vocabulary! You need a good base of words to communicate.
4) Keep a little notebook with you at all times. Write down the things that you hear and see. Ask your teacher about those things you don't understand.
5) Be serious about your studies. Do your best to attend all classes. Do your homework!! :)
6) Please, HAVE FUN!!!!!!
