By the way, your accent is amazing! I'm also a non-native speaker of English who's currently majoring in English, which basically means that very soon I'm gonna get an English degree and work as an English teacher, and, because of it, so many times, I felt a fraud. Only because English is not my mother tongue. Sometimes I still have to fight against this imposter syndrome.

You are an excellent teacher!! 🙌🏼 greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 🙂

Agnieszka - how admirable that you have openly shared your story.
As you suggested, your students will enjoy many benefits from your own learning process. Brava!!!

Well, my first thought after watching today's video is that the teacher of the Uni was outdated. You know that your English is top-notch. The best characteristic of a teacher is to empathize with the student, and I can guess you have plenty of that.

You are very brave to share your story with us. It touched me and motivated me more to learn a new language.

[jasminatsvetkova]

You're wonderful! Wishing you all the best!

[vertextson]

[AbdulkadirHaji-nyiy]

Great Story and I love your accent. I'm more or less in the same boat as you ;)

When I took my drivers license for car, the examiner said: "You are not a good driver. You will never do this for a living. I will pass you though. Your driving skills are good enough for grocery shopping etc"

After that I have been driving cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, trains, forklifts, tractors.... If it has wheels, I can drive it.

Don't ever let a teacher, examiner or similar put you down. They know nothing of what you are able to become!

Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story, Aga! I'm Italian, and my love for the English language has risen to such an extent that I decided to become an English teacher by doing the CELTA course.
As for your experience, what's the best piece of advice you'd give to a non-native English speaker wanting to become a teacher? What kind of approach should I take?
To wrap up, how can I get such a top-notch British accent? Thank you and greetings from Sicily.

[ВикторЕвсюков-ен]

Don't worry, be sure))) I didn't think that you were not a native speaker before you said about it 😊

I have been an african English teacher in asia, they don't even care about my qualifications or experience, they judge me by the color of my skin, they would rather have a european teacher whose English isn't good at all than have a fluent african.
