Hello, I'm Brigitte. I'm from the United States. I'm an English teacher working mostly with beginners. I understand the difficulties others have with learning a second language, but I try to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible. Learning a language shouldn't be all work and no play. I have been teaching English for many years, starting as a volunteer in my local Literacy Volunteers group. In 2004, I started teaching professionally in the United States. From there, I continued to teach English in South Korea, Jordan, Peru, China, and Ukraine. I love traveling, meeting new people and learning to communicate with them, even if I can just say basic words. Communication in different languages is very important in this world and I want to help others accomplish independence when they travel to other places.
