I'm a teacher just like you!

I've been using comprehension-based methods to teach language for over 20 years.

My journey through language teaching has been a deep dive into the fascinating interplay between 'knowledge' and 'instinct' in the brain during language acquisition.

I've witnessed firsthand how one of these two approaches can dramatically enhance learning.

I've seen that while knowledge – the structured understanding of grammar and vocabulary – lays the foundation, it's the instinct – the natural, intuitive use of language – that truly brings fluency to life.

This balance is a dance of sorts, where explicit instruction meets implicit understanding.

Over the years, I've developed strategies to leverage both aspects, guiding students to not only learn the language but to live it, breathe it, and think in it naturally.

My "Two Brains" guide is a culmination of these experiences, offering insights into harmonizing these two powerful forces in language learning.

Let's engage the brain!
