En savoir plus sur Emma

• 1) Parlez-vous couramment cette langue en raison de vos origines ou parce qu'un professeur vous a donné envie de l'apprendre ?

  I'm a native English speaker without a regional accent. I live in Suffolk, England. It's about two hours from London. I speak modern RP English.

• 2) Citez le personnage vivant, historique ou fictif qui est, selon vous, le représentant emblématique de la culture en question !

  It's very difficult to choose one person to represent a whole culture! I consider David Attenborough to be a great ambassador for Britain.

• 3) Y-a-t-il, dans celle-ci, un mot, une expression, une tradition ou un comportement typique qui vous amuse particulièrement ?

  I think it is often context which makes words or expressions enjoyable or fitting. I think British people use understatement well.
  Luckily, I don't really need to promote the importance of English!

• 4) En quoi savoir parler cette langue est important, que ce soit scolairement, professionnellement ou d'un point de vue plus personnel ?

  It's perhaps more relevant to promote the importance of human teachers. AI is not yet as good at language or at teaching as humans are. Also, an appointment with a real person is much more likely to actually go ahead than an intention to use an app. Beware of apps which encourage you to learn English by using translation from your first language. This is unhelpful for developing genuine conversation skills.

• 5) Quelle est la difficulté principale de cette langue et ce qui peut favoriser son apprentissage ?

  French speakers need practice with pronouncing the ends of words clearly, since these often carry information.

• 6) Une anecdote en rapport avec votre métier ou votre scolarité à nous raconter ?

  I really enjoy talking with people from other countries and learning about them, their culture and their lives. Some share funny stories while others are more focused on business topics or grammar. The tone of the lesson is very individual.

• 7) Aidez-nous à vous connaître un peu mieux en évoquant vos différents voyages.

  I love travel and have spent 18 months in East Africa and 6 months in India and Nepal. I've had the chance to visit the Waorani in the Amazon, dived in the Galapagos islands and stayed with hill tribes in Lao. I've been in Geneva quite a few times, mostly as a teacher taking students to visit CERN. I lived in Norway for 5 years and I learned Norwegian.

• 8) Qu'est-ce qui fait de vous un Superprof, en + de cette capacité à s'exprimer en plusieurs langues ?

  I can offer a technical background and intelligent engagement with your academic subject area or business topic. Of course, I can also help you refresh your grammar and conversation.
