I am certified to teach English as a second language by Oxford Seminars. I also have a Bachelor of Business Administration with a minor in English. Today, I begin teaching ESL on Steemit and discord with my first lesson.

Learning ESL (English as a Second Language) is useful for people that have been learning English, but could benefit from learning and speaking with a native English speaker to gain a larger vocabulary and improve grammar and conversational skills.

I speak some German and Spanish but I am not proficient in either. But that is ok. These posts will serve as a basic grammar course in English. This will also be an opportunity for me to improve my German and Spanish and to learn more languages as I am always a student of linguistics.

Lesson 1) Introducing yourself
