Hi friends,

English with a Smile is mostly written by me and some guest bloggers and teachers.

My name is Jacqueline Schaalje and I’m an English teacher living in Tel Aviv, Israel. I have an MA in English and have ten years of experience teaching thousands of students of all ages and levels.

With this blog I aim to reach ESL students with tips that I know really work to make your English better. I also enjoy being in contact with students and teachers from different places (although I don’t have time to talk long on Skype, sorry). I learn from you to be an even better teacher.

You may use all pictures in this blog; please add a link to my blog to show where you found it.    oudelande

    1. Hi Khalid, I understand your problem. Would it help you to know that almost every other person has a confidence problem? And it gets worse when you have to speak in a foreign language. So it’s actually quite normal to be afraid to open your mouth. The only way to overcome this and get better fighting your fear is just do it. Start saying simple things at work or when you travel. If this is too much, you can first practise speaking with a friend who also wants to learn English. Here are some tips for that: https://englishwithasmile.org/2014/09/26/learning-english-from-a-friend/

      2. You can do many exercises on my website, and in addition buy extra exercises. To practise your speaking, find an English teacher, but a friend who has good English may also help.
