Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As babies and toddlers, learning a language is a natural thing. We listen, watch, learn, and eventually try speaking for ourselves. We make many mistakes. As a toddler, mistakes are adorable. Our parents, siblings, and grandparents can't get enough of our attempts at language.

If our students can feel confident, even when they are wrong, they won't be afraid to try. This post was written by our TEFL...  [Read more]
