Here’s something you don’t see very often in the States.
Teenagers in a bar on Saturday night.
But in Prague, that’s every Saturday night.
Anyway, I met a group of these lucky kids a few weeks ago in Prague and we started talking about English.
I told them my story of teaching in a high school years ago.
I told them the level of my students was ok, but their’s was better.
They also said their friends had good English.
Are the generations changing? Is the younger generation getting better at English?
It looks that way.
And they agreed.
They said their parents are in their 40s and don’t speak as well as them.
So why the difference?
Here’s what I think:
They grow up swiming in a pool of English.
Even if a teenager is in a village and has the worst English teacher on the planet, his online world is mostly English.
And they navigate through this world daily and with ease.
They know and practice many of the same techniques I’ve been teaching my private students for years.
For example, English is a circle and not a line, SDIs, habit chains, and so on.
You can learn them all in “Free Time Fluent.”
And maybe you should get it before the teenagers sober up and take your job…
