There’s only a handful of cities in the world that truly deserve ‘must visit’ status and Hanoi is certainly one of them. While most people can only dream about a fleeting trip to Hanoi – if they’re lucky – ‘living like a local’ and working as EFL teacher in this magnificent city is a realistic proposition for anyone with a sense of adventure. Hanoi is Vietnam’s capital city and the seat of government. It’s noticeably smaller than Ho Chi Minh City in the south, but the pace of life is similarly frenetic. While Ho Chi Minh City is often referred to as Vietnam’s ‘engine room’, Hanoi is more of a ‘grand old lady’. It’s tough to pin down what makes Hanoi such a special place. Is it because there’s history, culture and art on display in seemingly every street...  [Read more]

  There are two issues that need to be stressed when working with the international phonemic alphabet. First is the fact that we are no longer concerned with how a word is traditionally spelled. Additionally we need to stress that we are only concerned with the sounds needed to correctly produce a word. So rather than numerous spellings, which can often be pronounced in different ways, we have one symbol representing one sound. Once we can isolate a sound, rather than juggling various spellings, we can work with our students on how to say that sound. Doing that successfully is related to manner and place of articulation, which will be covered shortly. To get a better understanding of the phonemic alphabet, let's take a look at our chart. In the bottom half of our chart we have our...  [Read more]

The city of Madison is located in an especially beautiful part of the country. The Native American Ho Chunk tribe settled in the area and called it their sacred land. Due to the four surrounding lakes, Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Lake Kegonsa, and Lake Waubesa, they referred to the land as Taychopera (land of the four lakes). Still today, Madison is a premier destination for outdoor lovers and travelers alike. The lakes invite people to engage in water sports and other activities, such as water-skiing, swimming or fishing. You can also grab a kayak or canoe and spend some quality time amongst nature. All this is why Madison makes the ideal location to start your ESL teaching journey. The first American settlers came to Madison around 1848. The town started out with a mere 620 people, but...  [Read more]
