こんにちは, Hola, Hallo, 안녕하세요, 你好, Olá, مرحبا, שלום, Γειά σας, Ciao, Bonjour, Sannu, Bawo, Ndewo, I ni ce, مرحبا, سلام, Привіт, Привет! Hello English Students! Below I have a mini lesson about the indefinite articles for you! If you enjoy it, please consider checking out my schedule and booking a trial session with me! ^^ - Picking which indefinite article to use can be tricky, depending on the sound of the word. Some words start with a consonant sound, some with a vowel sound, and some start with a consonant letter that is silent but sounds like a vowel! 😤 For example, you might say, “I saw a fox out in the woods the other day.” Here, we use “a” because the letter “f” in “fox” has a consonant sound. But what if we add an adjective before the word “fox,” like the color “orange”? Now the sentence becomes: “I saw an orange fox out in the woods the other day.” Here, we use “an” because “orange” starts with a vowel sound. Remember: 1. If a noun or adjective starts with a vowel sound, use “an.” (an apple, an hour) 2. If a noun or adjective starts with a consonant sound, use “a.” (a cat, a year) 3. If a noun or adjective starts with a consonant letter but is silent and makes a vowel sound (like “h” in “honor” or “hour”), use “an.” (an honor, an hour) In the sentence below, which indefinite article should we use?

Hello, English students! I'm curious—who are your favorite artists or groups in the genres below? What do you like about their music or performances? How does their music make you feel? I'll go first: I enjoy all of the above—American, Japanese, and Korean pop! I think they all have excellent production quality and interesting dance choreography. I find K-pop particularly intriguing. One song I specifically love is "ON" by BTS because it's super energetic, and the choreography is so cool! It always makes me feel energized! Artists who perform those complex dance routines while singing at the same time always impress me! I think it takes a lot of breath control and spatial awareness of the other members. Please feel free to share a few sentences about them! I look forward to learning about your favorite artists and groups!

Hello English Learners! My name is Darrion, but you may call me Dee for short! I have a couple of questions and a quiz for you! #1. Are the Definite and Indefinite Articles Easy for You to Use? #2. Do you often catch yourself using the wrong article? Feel free to express yourself in the comments below—I’m curious to know! Test yourself by filling in the blank:

Hello Teachers/Tutors! I have some questions: 1. How do you deal with a tween or teen in particular when you realize that you have been set up with one who clearly has no interest in learning English, and has no say in the matter about being there? 2. Do you have any tips/advice for helping tweens and teens improve their English without having to be incredibly fake energetic with them? It seems like there are some parents on here that sit their children in front of the computer with strangers who speak a language that they have absolutely no interest in learning. From the very few that I've encountered, all but two just had no interest in really trying to learn English. Aside from the two exceptions that I've made since I've stopped accepting sessions with children – one for a 10 year old kid from Israel and one other 8 or 9 year old kid from Germany that specifically chose me and enjoy learning English – I mostly decline sessions with children now. I even kindly make this clear in my main session's description that I would prefer that parents find other tutors who are experienced with children, but inspite of that, I still get requests from parents to teach their children. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Nowadays, I just ask the parents if their child really wants to learn English, or if they are forcing their child to learn English. If their child is not really interested, I politely decline the request and kindly ask the parents to search for a tutor that is more experienced with children. If their child actually really enjoys learning English, and if the child is the one that chooses me him/herself, I'm more inclined to make exceptions. What do YOU do personally when you realize you are faced with a tween or teen that has no interest in learning English? I assume that you would just decide to not do any further sessions with them after the trial is over? Or do you take it as a challenge and actually try to make it work somehow if you receive another request from the parents?
