• Ви вільно володієте цією мовою, тому що це ваша рідна мова, або тому, що вас надихнули її вивчити, як іноземну? Are you fluent in this language because it is your native language or because you were inspired to learn it as a foreign language?

  English is my native language. I have spoken English since childhood and was taught in school in English.

• Назвіть живого, історичного чи вигаданого персонажа, який, на вашу думку, є символічним представником культури, мову якої ви викладаєте! Name a living, historical, or fictional character who you think is symbolic of the culture whose language you teach!

  Queen Elizabeth II

• Чи є в культурі мови, яку ви викладаєте, вираз, традиція або звичка, яку ви вважаєте особливо цікавою? Is there an expression, tradition, or habit in the culture of the language you teach that you find particularly interesting?

  I hope it's not just me but everyone that feels the same way, English people love tea and coffee. I for one, am a coffee lover. I could start and end my day with coffee.

• Чому знання цієї мови є важливим для досягнення академічних, професіональних та особистісних успіхів? Why is knowledge of this language important for achieving academic, professional, and personal success?

  There are other international languages but English is the most widely used. It's a special bonus for those planning to travel around for whatever reason it may be.

• Які труднощі виникають зазвичай при вивченні цієї мови? What difficulties usually arise when learning this language?

  Pronunciation! There are several English-speaking countries with different dialects and pronunciations. This becomes an issue for English learners who already have a dialect in their language but have to learn English to be able to speak with different English speakers with different English dialects.

• Згадайте кумедну ситуацію, яка трапилась з вами під час викладання або навчання. Remember a funny situation that happened to you during teaching or learning.

  Before starting my classes, I usually let everyone know and ask them to stay away from my room during my classes. On one occasion, I was having a class when a close friend of mine walked into the room and started yelling at me about finishing the sandwich and leaving none for her. She was quite messy of course as it was in the morning. I kept trying to give her signs about the ongoing class but she couldn't care less about that until she was done yelling. When she realized what had just happened she hurriedly left the room embarrassed. After that experience, I always make sure to put up a sign at my door to prevent such occurrences.

• Розкажіть про вашу останню або улюблену подорож. Tell us about your last or favorite trip.

  My most recent trip was to another city in my home country called Lagos. It was entertaining. I haven't really traveled much around my country, so traveling to Lagos taught me a lot I didn't know about my country. I got to find out that Lagos was once the capital of my home country and also why everyone called it "the city that never sleeps". It's a mixture of the elites and the street dwellers (hand-to-mouth hustlers). You seldom find the middle-class man in Lagos. The city is also divided into two by a river, the mainland and the islands. These islands are mainly occupied by the elites and the mainland is majorly occupied by the street dwellers. I found this very amazing as the city I came from was a mixture of all classes. I spent quite a while there traveling between the mainland and the island each day as the city was always busy and buzzing with people. It's a trip I'd love to make again someday.
