Awwww yeah!!! You are awesome guys!!!! Being a non-native, let me tell you that I utterly agree with you in the sense that we must first understand the way native-English speakers use the language and make ourselves clear when trying to convey our meanings. In a nutshell, this is a step-by-step process. It´s also true that we are more likely to interact with non-natives and in order to keep the communication flowing mainly use these patterns with natives! At the end of the day the goal is to be able to communicate fluently. Obviously if we can achieve a native-like fluency…. mission accomplished, and in my case: a dream come true!! hahahah
Woooow!! This podcast is a capsule of your philosophy and goals. You are thinking “out of the box” and innovating completely pedagogy to teach English… What do I have to do to be part of the fluency circle?
