About Josh

My focus as a language teacher is on practicality and focusing on functional usage of the target language. While things like grammar and sentence structure are certainly important, these things can be learned in books, online, etc. and they are easily forgettable. I find that the best way to learn is through immersion and conversation - remember that the main purpose of any language is to get your point across! I also focus more on modern forms of the language, because many textbooks and academic sources are outdated and don't reflect the way native speakers actually communicate in real life situations. Using the knowledge I gained in my time spent abroad, my goal is to teach you how to sound just like a native, or help you with whatever you may be interested in! A presto!
