Teaching and Learning English

When I was living in England there was a Czech woman that lived in the same building as me. She had me help her with her English from time to time and I have to admit sometimes I didn’t know the answers to her questions. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in an English grammar class. So when I think about teaching English as a Foreign Language to people it scares me a little bit. This is why getting your TEFL certification is really helpful because it helps you brush up on all your grammar that you might have forgotten.  The questions weren’t things that you would think about normally when speaking English. I guess we tend to take for granted the fact that we can speak English and so many people are working hard to get to where we, as English speakers are.  If you get a better idea of what I’m talking about look online for TEFL practice tests and you’ll see the questions aren’t easy and straight forward.
