Mastering a language takes a lot of time and effort, especially for someone who isn't born in an English speaking country. This is true for Ms. Inna Figotina, an ESL/FSL teacher who taught in Taipei for a few years.

We also talked about her experience teaching in Taipei, and the uniqueness of their curriculum. We also shared a few perspectives in the difficulty of helping kids and adults.
