I'm from Russia. I'm 45. I currently live in Chile. Before moving here, she worked as a translator (language pair: German and Russian), first in a Russian company, then in an Austrian and German one. In 2002, she lived for six months in Germany with a German family, where she worked as an Aupair-Mädchen. Now I earn my living by giving private German lessons.
I graduated from Lipetsk Pedagogical University. I've never taught at school. Six months of online teaching experience.
In teaching a foreign language, the main thing for me is to explain the rules of grammar and hone them in lively conversational speech. Vocabulary is a acquired skill. I also pay enough attention to the correct pronunciation of words, because... This determines whether native speakers of the target language will understand you correctly.
