My english course I have been studying English by myself for some years now. Bur last month I enrolled myself in an English course for the municipality. I don't pay. The teacher is a good one, and has a master degree, but I realized that he often fails in some things, like: He sometimes don't know the proper meaning of an idiom in English, or they translate a Portuguese expression literally to English, and the expression has no meaning in English. A part form that particularities, He is in fact a good teacher, because he has a good didact, and know how to entertain the students.

My english course

I have been studying English by myself for some years now. But last month, I enrolled myself in an English course for the municipality (not sure what this means?). I don't pay. The teacher is a good one and has a master degree, but I realized that he often fails in some things.  like: For example, he sometimes doesn't know the proper meaning of an idiom in English, or they he will translate a Portuguese expression literally into to English literally, and the expression has no meaning in English. A part from these particularities, he is in fact a good teacher, because he has is a good didact, and knows how to entertain the students. Now I've joined this platform in order to practice my writing skills.


Notes: The word 'didact' is extremely rarely used in English. This word has not been in regular use in English since before the 1950's. You can still use it, but I recommend saying "he is in fact a  good teacher, because he enjoys teaching others..." or "he is in fact a good teacher, because he is instructs us very well...", instead, etc.

My english course

I have been studying English by myself for some years now. But last month I enrolled myself in a free English course offered by the municipality. (I assume you mean that this course is a city service.) 

I don't have to pay. The teacher is a good one, and has a master's degree, but I realized that he often fails in some things, like: He sometimes doesn't know the proper meaning of an idiom in English, or they he translates a Portuguese expression literally to English, and the expression has no meaning in English. Apart form that these particularities, he is in fact a good teacher, because he has a good teaching approach, and knows how to entertain the students. Now I've joined this platform in order to practice my writing skills.


When you just say, "I don't pay," it makes it sound like you are refusing to pay. But your point is that it is a free class. 

"The teacher is a good one." That's fine, but it is more natural and simpler to just say, "The teacher is good." 

Instead of "good didact,"  we might more naturally say, "a good teaching method" or "an effective teaching style."
