The truth is that I love to see people grow in any area of life, and when I can help someone do just that, I feel a great sense of satisfaction, knowing that I, in some small way, have contributed to their success. I have had the joy of seeing my students go from a basic level to now speaking with a high level of fluency, which has made a significant difference in the careers. Once again, seeing this growth makes me feel fantastic. To have students, years later, contact me and tell me how much English has helped them and how happy they now feel, is just the icing on the cake for me.

I decided to become an English teacher in 1998; when I decided to move to the Dominican Republic. In the beginning, it was partly the best way I knew how to make a living in a foreign country, but I quickly grew to love it and have never regretted my decision.

I would say that the most common reasons are related to improving one's economic possibilities. English has become essential in world business as it is the most spoken 2nd language and brings all countries together as one in business.

There is another reason that I have seen for learning English, and that is a great sense of satisfaction in being able to communicate with people from practically anywhere, and the desire not to be left behind and people see others conversing in this language.

Many also feel that English gives more opportunities for learning other things. The truth is that

As with anything, the level of difficulty has a number of factors. However, the reason I feel that English is significantly easier than other languages is that English is everywhere. Its difficult to turn on the TV or open an internet page without seeing and hearing at least some English words or even hearing some English conversation, it is truly everywhere. Along with that

As with all countries, there are some small differences in local or regional expressions found throughout Canada. I believe that for the most part, it might be hard for some to recognize a Canadian accent, though I myself am able to do that. Many say that Canadians have a rather neutral accent, I believe my accent falls into that category. Due to the historical connection to England, you can still find some expressions and vocabulary that are similar to the English and others that are like that spoken in the USA.
