Right. I want them to, of course, to focus on what they need, what they want, not just because we have full skills, then, you know, giving to give to every skill to each skill, like the same amount of time, depending on their needs. And then we're going to tackle each one in a different way for different time. Usually, the speaking is the time that we focus a little bit more, because like right now, everyone that I met happened to be very interested in conversation, which I understand, because back in the days when I was studying myself in high school and stuff like that, that was possibly the skill that was lacking in classes. And these are people that had my same possibly background in terms of being silent during the classes, listening to somebody else. And so, did they not have that practice, that time? So, yeah, usually I just, you know, prepare a few activities, reading an article, maybe some comprehension from there.

But what I like and what they usually like is role-plays, where we imagine a real-life situation, or maybe they tell me something that really happened to them, and maybe they could not answer, or they could not say what they wanted to say, and then, you know, after a day, they were like, I should have said that, or you know, now that I know that, I should have approached the situation in a different kind of way. So, we try to focus on these kind of moments, events, and build confidence on these. Yeah. I see. That makes a lot of sense, and I think it's nice that you can relate from, you know, from yourself growing up in another country, and learning other languages, you can kind of identify with that. So, you know, you mentioned that you worked in and lived in Singapore for a while, and you were teaching there. So, that's a very different cultural context to Italy or the UK where you are now. So, how do you adapt your teaching approach, depending on the background or the culture of your students? Right. So, I have to say that, generally, I teach adults, not children. The children that I teach mostly are my children. But even though, so I told for in Singapore, but I
