Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 6. Jul 2017
I was born and raised in rural Ireland in the last century, in one of the few counties (Mayo) where, alongside native English, native Gaelic in its purest form was and is still spoken. In my twenties I decided to live abroad and learn some foreign languages, including coming here to the Canaries to learn their Whistled Speech, what you and many call Silbo Gomero, and I was soon a competent whistler of speech.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been successfully learning, practising and teaching languages for many years, while keeping abreast of the latest studies on language acquisition (Stephen Krashen, Steve Kauffmann. . .).
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
After many years of teacher training (Higher Diploma in Education, in the National University of Ireland, Galway, also TEFL courses in Galway, and language training here in Spain), I also studied & still study all the old and new findings on acquisition of languages, implementing the relevant strategies into my classes, incorporating the concepts of comprehensible input and high motivation at every stage, always focusing on the students' wants and needs.
Excellent lesson & a very engaging teacher. Go híontach ar fad.

Truly enjoyed the class. Appreciate more now the immersive approach to learning a new language. Patch made it both instructive and fun. Only wish I could learn in person; video certainly very effective however. Look forward to next classes!
