What do you like most about teaching? Hearing students opinions and finding out more about the country.

What do you like about the English (or Czech) language? English has more words than any language, there are so many ways to express yourself. I love the sound of Czech, it's like people are singing.

What is your favourite word in English? Canny (a Scottish/ Newcastle word for good, nice, well or very)

Why are you living in Brno? I came here a couple of times for conferences when I was living in Poland. I thought I'd seemed like a really nice city; not too big, not too small.

What do you like about Brno? Beautiful buildings, there are always festivals in the squares, the coffee, the beer and pizza windows.

Why are you working for ILC International House Brno? I knew a couple of people who had worked here so I knew it was a decent school. I enjoyed coming to the teacher training day here.
