How can I help another speaker?

My main tasks are:

  • Teaching language structure and grammar - I teach grammar, sentence structure, usage rules and other language features so that students can communicate correctly both in writing and orally.
  • Vocabulary development - I help students learn to use everyday words, phrases, thematic vocabulary, depending on the learning objective (e.g. work-related, academic or everyday language).
  • Developing reading, listening and writing skills - I focus on developing language skills, using a variety of techniques: listening exercises, text analysis, writing exercises, discussions and more.
  • Discussion of culture and everyday life - Lithuanian language teaching often includes teaching about the country's culture, traditions, history and everyday life to help students integrate better into Lithuania.
  • Support and motivation - Often speakers of other languages have difficulties when learning Lithuanian, so I am very patient, motivating and ready to overcome language barriers together.

    Here is an article about me, Lithuanian language and teaching. Can be used for.
