I love that Villanelle can switch on a convincing native-speaker accent if she feels like it -

but most of the time...she just. doesn't

#I too have a normal baseline accent vs my showing off/teaching fancy accent vs my 'intentionally movie-villain bad German accent'#finally some authentic fluent esl speaker representation #killing eve #fandom

💫The Best of Both Worlds: Astrology in the Classroom (Pt. 1) 🏫

If you ever want to see absolute chaos in a classroom, do a basic (sun signs only) astrology lesson. Then, ask your students to guess what you are at the very end.

I teach senior high school/pre-university, and it was a very needed break! My students had an excuse to talk about personal topics ahead of a busy exam season.

In my EFL (English) and FLE (français) classes, astrology was their most memorable lesson this school year. No one remembered the signs in a foreign language, though!! It might take some time as this was more of a fun lesson.

When I asked my students and colleagues to guess my sign, they said:

Aries student: "You're the lion, your hair is like one."

Pisces student: "You're the water pot. All the other teachers are!!" (Half of the teachers in my department are Aquarius folks)

Virgo language teacher: "Definitely a Scorpio." (His Venus and Mars are conjunct in Scorpio)

Several Aquarius language teachers in unison over donuts: "Libra?"

Scorpio language teacher after the Aquarius language teachers: "Beer? Wine? Snacks? Those are signs, right?"

Oldest Aquarius language teacher: "Psychic? Psycho? Crazy? Isn't there something that starts with C?"

Capricorn colleague: "The wife sign? My future wife?"

Taurus history teacher: "A dictator? What is that dude's sign? You know, the violent one? Are you vodka or soju?"

Cancer PE teacher: "Pretty? The big fish? Pie? You are pretty pie?"

Out of a few hundred students and several dozen colleagues, no one got my sign right!! 😢 However, they got my Venus, Mercury, Mars, and other aspects. Perhaps it's because I'm at the other end of the world from my birthplace.

Soon, I'll post more about my EFL/FLE classes and experiences. I teach in a country that doesn't use English often and is at a significant crossroads with AI and language education.

If you want any classroom resources for this kind of lesson, just message me!

calling all my lovely ESL friends!!!

I'm currently tutoring a younger teenager in English, and he's doing great with spelling and pronunciation, but struggles with sentence structure/grammar/etc. I told him to start reading some English books and that we would then discuss them and I'd have him write some short (very short) essays on them to work through his thoughts on paper.

Basically my question is, what helped you the most in learning English? Were there specific books you liked or movies you watched a lot, or something else that you relied on or that was a turning point in the learning process?

Open to any/all insight and recommendations!

#esl #english as a second language #this is my first time teaching ESL honestly #I've tutored reading and writing in the past but those were peers in college who knew the language #i already picked out a book or two for him to read but i know he needs more than that!#and his school workbooks and curriculum are meh at best #anyway!#:)

Izuku: *approaching a new recruit Ochaco* Hey are you OK ? You set up with the team ?

Ochaco: *nervous* I-I'm fine, but I think Medusa doesn't like me very much.

Izuku: Really ? Why ?

Ochaco: Well he continues to glare at me and we never actually talk ! He just stands here staring and sometimes he even randomly claps his hands next to me for no reason ! He scares me a little.

Izuku:...

Izuku: Ochaco, Medusa is fucking mute. He just tries to get your attention.

Ochaco:...

Ochaco: Oh.

#Ochaco the accidental bigot #Medusa aka the mute that no one ever bother to teach sign language until know: how do I communicate 🕴️#Well it's not quite true I mean at the time Ochaco joins the LOV he would have already known perfectly JSL and maybe still working on ESL #BUT it's also very funny to imagine that Medusa had managed to navigate between the LOV for a couple of years without knowing how *#*to properly communicate with anyone #I just noticed I made a ton of faults in the tags but I just don't mind anymore #Fix it in your head 🤡#mha vilain au #my hero academia #mha vilain au incorrect quotes #mha incorrect quotes #mha izuku #villain izuku #mha denki #villain denki #mha ochaco #traitor ochaco

Speaking a second language

Speaking a second language is worrying/apologizing for any minimal gramatical mistake, the total opposite from a native speaker.

Speaking a second language is having favorite words in each language (because they are more complete/precise or for an emotional connection).

Speaking a second language is having a mind switch when you're talking, your attitude change and even your voice (and I swear is not faking, just happens naturally).

Speaking a second language is getting so excited when you have the chance to talk in the language you don't use frequently (your target language or your mother tongue).

Speaking a second language is understanding more than others the beauty and grace of your own language.
