How to Study English? English Teacher Interview | Sara V.

My name’s Sara and I’m from Sweden.

I like teaching because I really love it when my students don’t start out speaking really

good English, but then after a while, when I teach them more stuff…

I really like it to see them to start to speak.

They get more brave.

It’s really nice.

I think the best way to study English is through reading.

I read a lot when I was younger.

And some people say they don’t like to read, but it’s my favorite thing.

And I learn … you learn a lot of words that way.

It would be someone who really wants to learn English.

I think that a lot of people think that through their job, or their boss, they just have to

learn it.

But they’re not really that motivated, so I would definitely say someone who enjoys

the language, maybe they even like British, American culture.

That kind of person is my ideal student.

The worst student.

That’s hard to say.

I haven’t had a lot of bad students so far.

But maybe someone who is really uninspired.

When you can feel that they don’t want to be there.

They don’t really want to learn English.

Someone else forced them to learn English.

You don’t really want to teach someone like that.

Ya, I do.

I think it’s really nice.

Because I love languages.

So teaching English is one of the things I like the most.

I speak…

On native level I speak English, Swedish, Norwegian, and I’m also intermediate in

Korean, Japanese, and French.

I classify myself as a native English speaker.

But technically, I was born in Sweden.

I learned English through reading.

That’s why I said I think it’s the best way to learn.

I read all the time.

And I love English.

I would learn difficult words.

I read Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for example, when I was really young.

And when I didn’t understand something, I’d look up the words.

So that’s how I learnt the most.

And I spoke to a lot of British and American friends, so I practiced that a lot.

I actually prefer British.

But I tend to use more Americanized kind of English.

Because it’s easier for me to use for some reason.

But, British sounds the best I think,
