One of the best ways to learn something deeply is to teach it. If you are reading this, you might be part of our growing team, teaching Mexico City’s finest empresarios. You might also be a student — this one’s for you.
As a student, you might not have a class of eager faces, raising hands and engaging with you, desperate to fulfil their dreams through learning English. But you probably have the internet, which allows you to connect with and find other learners.
How can you teach them?
Questions. Yep, ask and answer questions!
I get it. English is hard to learn. It doesn’t make sense and it’s always evolving.
Check out this hilarious Buzzfeed article about just that!
Stack Exchange, Twitter and Quora have great threads regarding English. I’m going to improve my own understanding of English (even as a native speaker) by answering questions reading answers from people who are experts relative to me.
If you know something, that makes you a relative expert to someone who knows nothing! No imposter syndrome allowed here — the master is also an apprentice. Let’s learn by teaching, together.
