Hi! My name is Cat, and I am passionate about language. I am a native English speaker with a certificate in adult learning, and I also speak a little Mandarin and Spanish, just in case English isn't enough! I also have a background in linguistics, and I love understanding how languages work. I have been told by many people learning English that I use very interesting words, so you'll never be bored! I also enjoy explaining the meaning behind words, where local idioms come from, and how to choose the right words to describe how you are feeling!
I have my own car, so I can meet you anywhere you feel comfortable to learn, like your favourite coffee shop or library, or even just walking in the park. Send me a message, let's get to know each other!
When you are a beginner, learning English can feel overwhelming at first. That's understandable! Luckily it doesn't take very long to learn the basics, and with that you can live your life normally while you learn the rest.
Christchurch is home to many cultures from all around the world, so you are not alone! Learning English here is a pleasure, because the signs are easy to read, the bus system is easy to navigate, and the people are very kind - don't be afraid to ask for help!
Surrounding yourself with English speakers is the best way to learn. When you hear the words everyday, they stop sounding so different and scary. The more you speak and listen, the easier it will get because it will become a habit. Learning the basics is easy and fun, and later understanding grammar and how the language works is very satisfying. It always feels better when you know WHY certain words go together, right?
