Well, that's great that you have happy experiences of teaching in Indonesia and following up on what you just mentioned. What would you recommend for students who do not live in an English speaking country? I don't know about perfecting but they want at least to be able to communicate decently. How can they go about this?
Yeah, it is really hard that is the real struggle because right now I do live in Holland. But I really don't socialize much with Dutch People and my boyfriend's English is so good that we just basically speak English all the time. So I have to make a real effort to practice. There isn't as much listening exposure as I want, all I have to do is turn on the TV.
And reading also right?
Yeah, reading. There was plenty I can get to read and listen to. God for a speaking there really is no substitute for trying to speak and use the language in a relaxed atmosphere. o I think that is really the challenge for People who live in a country where their target language isn't spoken and for that. Gosh, what would I do. If I didn't have People here, probably try to find a club in Sweden. They have a really cool system called study circles where it's not it's like a course but really you just have a course leader who is there sort of. As a coaching guide and to help out and you don't get grades and you go just because you want to learn.
