Profile
I am native American English speaker from the New Jersey and English Language Teacher at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. I currently speak five languages (English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Levantine Arabic and French) to varying degrees of ability. I also speak African-American English and Ebonix (Hip-Hop slang).
Spanish was my second language. I started learning Spanish when I was 22 in part because I love language and was looking to learn a foreign language and in part to better communicate with people living in my hometown. It took me about two years of self-study and consistent interaction with native speakers at my job for me to feel comfortable communicating in Spanish on a range of topics.
I then learned Brazilian Portuguese while I was teaching at a school which had about 75% Brazilians studying there, mostly from Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. It took about 9 months for me to become somewhat fluent after having already studied Spanish.
I began studying Levantine Arabic in 2011 in order to communicate with my wife's family, who is from Palestine. During this time, I also spent about 1 year studying MSA in both informal and formal settings.
I recently took up French as I've always wanted to learn it and I now have the opportunity to take language courses at the United Nations, where French is an official working language of the Secretariat, which has given me the opportunity to use French for both personal and professional reasons.
Professionally, I have 10 years experience teaching English as a Second Language in the tri-state area, primarily in university settings, but also in private, community, corporate and intergovernmental settings as well. During this time, I have worked with students from a wide array of backgrounds, delivering them innovative and exceptional English language teaching. I attained my M.A. in Applied Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts-Boston in 2011.
