Passion is important. This week I have a new teacher at the Casa Shalahu Spanish school.

She is much better. Last week my old teacher never smiled. She had no passion for teaching. But my new teacher smiles

often. She enjoys talking. She enjoys communicating. When I talk, she looks at me, she listens. It seems like she likes her job.

At Effortless English, we talk a lot about methods. Teaching methods are very important. We use the best learning methods. We use the most successful

methods. We always choose methods based on independent research so you learn easily and quickly.

However, method is not the only important thing. Passion and enthusiasm are equally important. The

teacher must love teaching. The teacher must have passion. The teacher must be

interested in teaching.

If the teacher does not have passion, the student will feel it.

The student will quickly become bored and tired.

The student will lose motivation. This happened to me last week. After

only one week with a board teacher I was ready to quit the school. On the other hand, after only one day with a good teacher,

I feel motivated and happy about learning Spanish.

Our attitudes are very important both as teachers and students.

We must be passionate, positive, and enthusiastic.

As students, we must find teachers who love teaching.

We must find materials that are interesting to us.

We must take care of our emotions and motivations. That's why I try to be enthusiastic and

excited in my lessons. Sometimes I even shout. You feel my energy. You become more excited about English, you enjoy the stories and ideas and don't focus on grammar.

This is probably the most important method of effortless English. Passion.
