Latonya and Diana talk with Violetta, a new tutor with the Tacoma Area Literacy Council (TALC), the organization that sponsors this podcast. Violetta is a new tutor from Ukraine who began learning English 3 years ago when she arrived in the U.S. Violetta shares how she went from having nearly zero knowledge of English a few years ago to having the skills to tutor others who are learning the language.
She emphasizes the importance of practice, consistency and surrounding oneself with English language resources. Violetta says that she found that listening to podcasts was especially helpful to her because podcasts "put the English into my head".
Violetta shares three key recommendations for English learners:
1. Surround yourself with English everywhere.
2. Think of language learning as a game rather than a heavy challenge.
3. Don't be afraid of making mistakes
A big thank you to Violetta for sharing her story with us. Her English learning journey inspired us and we hope it will inspire you, dear listener!
