    Like, whatever

    You know what impressed me the other night was how well spoken and articulate Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic were in their post match speeches...in English.
    They speak better than most people I encounter on a daily basis.

    In Argentina most professionals who are taking English have two teachers.

    1) An Argentine to learn GRAMMAR

    2) A native English speaker to practice fluency


    Even though I'm a stickler for grammar, I couldn't get a job as just a grammar teacher, because 99% of the time, people who learn English as a second language well enough to teach, know English grammar MUCH better than the average native English speaking traveler.
