Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate - the TEFL Academy - Merit
I was born into a dual nationality family, English father and Dutch mother, and was used to hearing different languages from a young age. I could understand a lot of Dutch but was not able to speak more than a few random words and phrases. My formal language learning began secondary school with French and then Spanish. I spent a lot of time working in France and travelling, then eventually started a combined honours degree course at London University, in Thai combined with French, followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and a Masters in Language Teaching. I wanted to learn some Italian and spent 2 years going to adult education evening classes. Most recently I have taken a TEFL course and qualified to teach English to speakers of other languages.
Some say that you have to have a special talent to learn languages. I disagree. The most important factor in learning to speak another language is your motivation. Anybody can learn any language - but you need to want to do so!
