GET TO KNOW YOUR TEACHER LIZ
===============================================
NAME:- Elizabeth (Liz)
WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? - I am a Cambridge CELTA and the more advanced DELTA qualified English Teacher. I also trained in Speech & Drama at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) and LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts).
I am also a featured author on Macmillan Dictionary's One Stop English's website. www.onestopenglish.com/commun...
WHERE DO YOU LIVE? - England (UK)
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS? - ‘Outwardly innocent, but inwardly knowing’.
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!
BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances - respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!
HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand
WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him - not wanting to leave him out - instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!

Hi, I only knew this: easy peasy japaneasy 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thanks a lot for your kind efforts. I love your lessons. I am trying to improve my pronunciation accordingly. Consonant letters also have different pronunciation by the same way, some times unvoiced. Hope we will get them also gradually.
Love you teacher!!!

Liz please the grammar the grammar with you learning is a pleasure .
i can understand very well on your channel my teacher please the grammar
love and peace 😘
Hi Jambo. When starting an English channel on YT there's so much competition that you need to stick to a particular niche (in my case pronunciation). Once the channel is established, you can then look at the other areas of English. So that's my plan and grammar lessons will feature in the future. However, do you have any particular issues I could help you with now? ❤️ Love & 🕊Peace. Liz
@@EnglishwithLiz yes teacher , i have many questions about grammar , perhaps the most famous of them is what is the real function of ( too) in the sentence because too made me go crazy
and also are the participle clauses used a lot in language ?
peace and love jambo 😘
@@jambo112savoia2 Participle clauses are most often used in written texts, such as fiction, rather than in our day-to-day speech. They add more detail and meaning to the sentence, which is useful for written texts. They also tend to be perceived as formal, which is why they aren't used in spoken language as often as they are in written texts.
More on to, too and two later😁
@@EnglishwithLiz too later ??? ok 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣i'll go crazy then
Hi Jambo
To’ is used to show motion, eg "I’m going to the shop."
‘Too’ means ‘also’ or ‘extremely’, eg "I would like to come too but I'm too tired."
‘Two’ means the number 2, eg "Let’s buy two apples."
I hope this stops you going crazy 🤣
Thank for this video I really really appreciate you ❤
thank you Warda. I really really appreciate you watching and hopefully learning. Love ❤️ & 🕊 Peace. Liz
