Jack

What is your name?  Jack Stephens

Where are you from? London

What do you like most about teaching? My favourite thing about teaching has always been the students. Teaching is a great way to meet a wide range of people and learn a lot about a lot of different things. It's especially great when you move to a new country, as you have a lot to learn. I see teaching as a kind of exchange.

What do you like about the English (or Czech) language? British English swearing is extremely expressive! I also love the flexibility of the language, and the way that you can invent a new phrasal verb for a certain situation and it can still mean something (sorry Czechs!).

What do you like about Brno?  It's a city in balance. Not too big, not too small, not too quiet, not too crazy, not too old, not too young, both historical and modern. And it's a very easy place to live.

What do you do in your free time? I love films and music, I enjoy acting and writing, and in true Czech style I like arguing with my friends in the pub.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Roast potatoes, extra crispy.
