⁃ What is the reason for becoming a teachers
First, I love learning languages myself, I personally speak 5. That’s why I also know how to explain the best ways and tricks to efficiently learn a new language. Second, when I see my students understanding difficult concepts through my explanations, I feel very happy and motivated!
⁃ What countries did you have students from
Many countries, for instance USA, Great Britain, Denmark, Poland, Ukraine, Netherlands, Türkiye, Russia, Brazil
⁃ What are the biggest challenges your students have
This depends on the student’s mother tongue and for example on whether he or she speaks another Slavic languages or not. But there is one thing that is challenging for everyone – to start speaking. That is why in my classes I focus on practice, speaking and communication with my students, I motivate them to use Bulgarian in their daily life.
⁃ What would you tell Someone learning Bulgarian
Be patient, practice regularly and, most importantly – have fun! Watch videos, listen to podcasts, and don’t be afraid of make mistakes! This is the key to success.
