Hello,
My name is Damion and I am a language enthusiast just like you! I know what it's like to pursue a new language, a new skillset or even a new passion without any clear direction on how to get to the other side. Fortunately for you, I have figured out the key to gaining traction and focus towards achieving any goal that you would like to accomplish.
Aside from language, I have a 20 year background working with clients in the mental health field that struggled with a variety of disorders and situational stressors. I taught people how to break down their issues one by one and develop strategies to overcome each hurdle one at a time.
Learning a language isn't as intimidating as people make it seem, it's really just a matter of finding out how you personally learn best and then building on that strength.

Interesting Fact: Did you know that I became conversationally fluent in Russian over the course of 5 years? Well, I will tell you that I didn't do it with boring grammar charts and long-winded stories written in 1892..lol I figured out how to learn the
I don't believe that learning a language(skill) is a "one size fits all" kind of situation. My methodology in helping others is to first help them identify their strengths, before diving into any areas of needed improvement.
Once a person can identify what they are doing correctly, they naturally gain a boost of self-esteem and confidence which will be needed for tackling more challenging aspects of a particular language skill.
The next step is to clearly identify a goal and utilize their strengths to help them achieve it.
Some of the techniques that I use to help my students are:
-Creating a sound profile (Helps students to pinpoint pronunciation errors)
-Audio Homework Assignments (Students receive transcriptions of their audio with feedback and suggestions for improvement)
-Personalized Lessons (We will talk about things that you like)
