Adventures in English-teaching

Since obtaining my English-teaching certificate almost a year ago, I have been gaining lots of experience teaching at a language school here in the city and teaching business English over the phone to Europeans and Russians.

It's been a real learning experience for me, both teaching-wise and grammar wise. So far, the funniest moment I have had was explaining to a French-speaker what the difference between 'consuming' and 'consummation' is.

Earlier tonight I was speaking to a young Russian woman who was telling me about her dream vacation in Amsterdam. Only it came out: "My next vacation, I will trip to Amsterdam."

I really had to contain the laughter. I mean, how awesome is that?! hahaha
