As a teacher myself, I realized that some methods work with some people and they don't work with others. There is no one perfect method. And besides now I recall that my father actually had studied initially with an original British gentleman who was a friend of the family in Romania. So he had this exposure but probably, you know, that wasn't his strong point or didn't need to focus on that. But it took the useful, let's say, concrete stuff like being able to communicate. Well, great. He used them to tame dragons as we learned.
Here's part 2 of my conversation with "The Son of the Dragon Tamer" in which we talk about these things: - The difference “pleasshure” and “pleasure”, “bio” and “B.O.” - The importance of ‘passion’ in France - Jamie Oliver’s (fake?) cockney accent - British & American English - Corneliu’s experiences in America, his acting and his accent - Corneliu’s learning experiences with a great teacher when he was a child - The interesting course-book which Corneliu used in his English lessons - The myth of ‘the English gentleman’ - Depictions of Englishness in films - Stereotypes of Romania - Romania & Bulgaria’s entry into the EU and the media panic related to migrant workers - Vampires, Dracula and Romania Click here for more information
