- Hello, I am new here, How do we get students here ? What teaching materials do you use?
Best answer
Hello I have taught on this site for a while. I have 1000+ lessons, however, like any website, the algorithm of the site changes what attracts students. I find teaching topics on google. For low level speakers, we read children's books (no matter the age) and basic grammar lessons. For high level speakers, we do some more complicated reading and free conversation. Live XP has a large student user base. But opposite of that is there are many many many teachers to choose from. You must stand out. You must cater to the populations of language learners: - Beginners : They lose motivation the fastest. There is a frustration from being an adult and not being understand something. Think like a 40 year old trying to remember to do long division. You must have a structured lesson method to move them through. - Children : Some children have more motivation than others - Business people : Formal, email correspondence - "Realists" : They want to speak with your accent and slang

- What do you find the most difficult thing in speaking in English language? Vocablury or fluency?
Best answer
In my opinion, pronunciation is the most difficult thing in the English language. I believe that, similarly to French, the words are not spoken the way they are spelled, and there are no rules. Think of the different pronunciations the letter sequence "ough" have, for example, as in the words tough, though, thought and thorough. Of course you can improve your pronunciation and consequently your fluency by exposing yourself to the language as much as you can, preferably daily, and this consistency will help you understand people better and also speak more fluently.

Wow, I'm amazed at how many books these people were able to read. I remember starting an awesome book called "Non-Violent Communcation" that helped me to communicate better, even though I haven't finished it yet. Other than that, I was studying some books regarding Business English in order to be able to better help my students.
- If I was a Secretary of Education, I would...
Let's imagine what you would like to do if you had a huge power over the educational system in your country? Please, think of: 1) schools (what you wanna change in them - books, nutrition, uniform, teacher's wage etc.); 2) lessons (quantity of'em, structure, new subjects); 3) unis; 4) curriculum; 5)duration of the lesson (e.g. in Ukraine we have a lesson per 45 mins); 6) a quantity of weekdays for students (I prefer 4\3). Also add any kind of info you would like to tell us about.
Best answer
If I had the power I would begin by making play a priority for children. I worked in the US school system and kids at my school had less than one hour outside in a school day, sad. More time outside and less time reading a books about what the teacher can do with the students. And so much more….
