I moved to the United States for two years without having any idea of English, the first months were very hard for me, I had been teaching English all my life but I could never learn it properly because the classes are boring and heavy, besides they teach you a vocabulary that you do not use on a daily basis. The most frustrating thing is that you can understand everything but you can't express yourself or say properly everything you think. My English classes are based on the concept of learning to speak and have conversations that you can use on a daily basis, to improve your pronunciation trying to imitate American pronunciation. After those two years I came back to Spain and taught my sisters English with a much more simple and fun method, trying to improve and advance every day. The key of all this is to start speaking to get rid of the embarrassment.
