For those who don't know, I am a trained linguist because I did French/English and switched to French/Spanish while studying for my Diploma in Modern Language Teaching. The procedure used for French /Spanish and French/English training is totally different from each other and with all those notes i have combined what I learned at Shortwood Teachers' with how i was taught French while living in a French country when i only knew and understood English. That helps in doing quality teaching which is lacking when English and Maths teachers try to teach a foreign language when they have only lived in the country but have not gone through the training. So what happens to students taught the way others are teaching, they cannot diagnose what students are doing wrong or why certain languages cannot go around their tongues, which because they are clueless on these facts they shout and damage students from loving the foreign languages. There are many persons who can attest that how they speak the language was how their teacher taught them to speak, which to say the least, damages the language, and makes my back itch, as if someone was dragging their nails down a chalkboard. That is how much I love Foreign Languages, when you can hear what they sounded like before and when I am done with them they speak like natives. Whereby, the natives recognise their language and would never know that the person speaking was a foreigner to the language. I am also a former Language Training Centre teacher I am not coming from just coming out of college. I have experience with languages from childhood. So you can make your decision wisely as to which teacher would teach you correctly or not.
