A Beginner's Guide to English Vocabulary and How to Use It

Learning a new language is never easy, and English is no exception. Many grammar courses exist to help you with the many rules and exceptions that come with forming a sentence. However, one thing is missing. Vocabulary. Without the words we need to properly express what we want to say, what good is the grammar?

In this course, we will be learning common vocabulary you will come across in daily life using the English language. Subjects will range from foods, to occupations, to school subjects, and many many more. We will practice the pronunciation of the word itself, its meaning, and examples of how to appropriately use it in sentences.

Structure is important, but so is learning what you want to say in the first place. Let me help you to better express yourself.

Extra information

Students are encouraged to study and practice making sentences independently outside of class to better understand the material.

About Me

Hello! My name is LeighAnne (or "Lian" if that makes it easier). I am an American citizen currently living in the Philippines. My hobbies are cooking, reading, and writing. My favorite holiday is Halloween and my favorite season is Fall. I love animals, delicious food, and books!

I have a Bachelor's degree in English as well as over eight years of teaching experience (both in-class and online). I think people should never stop learning and always try to teach themselves something new. I hope you will let me teach you something new too!

Education

Bachelor of Arts degree.
Majored in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. Minor in Philosophy.
Graduate of Albion College. Class of 2016.
TESOL Certification.

Experience / Qualifications

A total of eight years of teaching experience both in-class and online. TESOL 120 Hour Advanced Certificate. Experience with teaching everyone from young children (ages 4 and up) to adults.
Reading is a fun and educational way to improve your language skills. However, "reading" and "comprehending" a story are two very different things. Beginners often have trouble recalling important content in a story or understanding what the story is trying to say. While good reading skills are important, merely saying the words correctly will not be enough to satisfy most schools, universities, or even future jobs. You must have a good understanding of the material itself. In this class, I read a short story to the students (while they follow along with the reading) and at the end, they are given a short quiz to see how well they retained the material. Based on the results, we will determine what are the areas in which the student is having trouble retaining or understanding the material. From there, we can decide whether to continue studying the same story and better understand the content, or move on to new material. Reading is more than just reciting. It's understanding. Let me help you understand it all just a little bit better.
Everyone has an imagination. Ideas, stories, inventions. The easy part is thinking of them. The hard part is thinking of how to express them to others. In this course, I will cover the essential elements of creative writing. This will be done through a combination of short stories, poetry, and exchanges of ideas and feedback. The class will involve both your own independent work and looking at examples of other writers. Creative writing is a powerful tool. A way to escape the world, or even make it more accessible to those around you. Let me help you put all those amazing ideas into something everybody can see.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
