Ask me about Jamaica! Are you curious to learn more about Jamaica- to go beyond Reggae and Jerk? Its history, people, politics and culture?

From 51.04 $ /h

Ever wondered about life in Jamaica beyond the lights of Kingston’s allure? This class offers an ethnographic journey of practises and cultures in rural Jamaica, illustrated through photos, songs and videos. Let's explore life in rural Jamaica!

Born and raised in a remote rural district/village, I will take you on an authentic journey of first hand experiences- reliving fond childhood memories, the stories my grandmother told me and what a typical day is like. This will be grounded in the history and culture of Jamaica.

Coming from a background in diplomacy, sharing about Jamaica's culture and historical experiences has always been essential for opening the door to a deeper unerstanding. I have an avid interest in other cultures and always take the time to explore wherever I go. Having been to South and Central America, Asia, North America and Europe, I know the unique value of such rich experiences. Whenever I was home-sick while posted abroad, talking about my homeland was the only cure.

I will share with you all there is about living in rural Jamaica, from different perspectives of my childhood, teenage years and adult life. One unique bit is that the district's enduring small farms form the centrepiece around which everything revolves.

Come prepared with a curious mind, and if you want to make notes take your pen and paper or do so on your devices.

It is important for me that your are learning, so I encourage you to ask questions.

Let's go beyond Kington's enigma!

Hello! I'm Sanghee and a native Korean speaker.

With 5+ years of teaching experience and a certificate from a Korean teacher training program, I've taught many different students from other countries. I started my 'Uri Korean' business in the Netherlands, and I also make educational content for all learners to make it very accessible.

If you don't know any Korean, we can start by learning the Korean alphabet.
The private classes can be 1:1 or 1:2, and they will be focused on your level and pace.
You will just need to spend 1 to 2 hours doing your homework assignments.

I use Korean language school textbooks for the class, so you can learn step-by-step.
My classes consist of speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary.
I will give you many chances to speak Korean in every lesson.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you soon in class!

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

I was born in central Thailand, which has given me a neutral accent. I have worked in various parts of Thailand, which has allowed me to become familiar with all Thai dialects. As a 90s kid, I am well-versed in classic Thai songs that I can introduce to you. Furthermore, I can guide you through conversations that are appropriate for different levels of Thai society, imparting valuable knowledge about Thai culture.

May 2026: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
