It’s been a while since I’ve continued my irregular series on how to learn English, but today I want to offer you a tip on English learning: finding a mentor.
Before You Start the Recording
Do you have any mentors? For what areas of your life do you think mentors are a good idea? How do you think that a mentor for English will be able to help you learn English?
Start the recording now.
After You’ve Listened to the Recording
Before you go off to do something else, ask yourself if there’s someone you know who’s learning English and could serve as a mentor to you. How would you want the mentoring to work? Why don’t you ask that person if they’d be willing to mentor you?
What are some areas of life in which you could mentor someone? If someone who spoke less English than you wanted you to mentor them, what are the first things that you’d tell them? I’m especially interested in the answer to the last question!
