As a teacher I often got asked the question: “Is it better to have a native English-speaking teacher? Or can a non-native English speaking partner or teacher be just as effective?” The truth is that non-native English teachers are often just as good as native-English speakers—and sometimes they’re better. Today we’ll talk about why practicing with Non-Natives can actually benefit you on your language learning journey.   Show notes here.   I need YOUR help!
