Title: -POSSIBLE- Miss Kitter's English tutoring!
Post by: Kitterr on April 30, 2020, 09:23:11 pm
Hi there friends! I'm thinking of helping some non native speakers with this confusing language, to help better their communications! I'm thinking about doing this because I know/semi-know some people who have trouble with English, like my friend QuietMacaroni, though her English is pretty good, she does have a few hiccups here and there (but don't we all?). I also see many who want to speak on their native language on the forums, but are stuck with a weird second language. I want to help you~!
If this gets enough backing I might just do it, depends.

This is a pretty sweet thing to do! I feel like if you base your lessons around Duolingo that will help you out with out of class learning!

This is a really lovely thing for you to do, I know some users that feel like the language barrier stops them from experiencing the full game.

I'd probably set it up to have "classes" of people from the same country or they speak the same language, to hopefully have a few "students" that could help with translations & such. Just an idea, and ofc there will be 1 on 1s.. just don't know how to do group lessons tho if I wanted to-

Wow. It's very good idea. My language is polish and it isn't similar to english (ehhh, it's really diffrent). I think it really will help for people who don't know english good.

For group lessons, a Discord group or server (most likely server as you can create channels and toggle member permissions), so you can create channels that separate different things!
I know little to nothing about teaching, but I think doing something like that would be good! For example, you could set assignments or 'homework' for people to complete and make that channel not allowed to be talked in by anyone other than you, and have another channel for homework submissions, etc. - And then have another channel for general work! Unless you were thinking of doing it via Video/Voice Chat.

I would schedule some calls, to work on spoken english, but for the most part text :3 Problem is I'm only able to access discord at certain times, so it would mainly be homework/assignments I post.

I think this is a wonderful idea and it's very nice to see someone willing to help others in the game! I think it'd help a lot of people get basic English so that they'd be able to talk to other English speakers since that is the biggest language in the game.
