Hi everyone,

I teach in companies only (in Spain). What annoys me a lot is that I repeat and repeat and repeat the pronunciation of common words and the next minute, they get is wrong again. It drives me insane!!!!

Apart from one very hard working class they don't give a sh... about doing their homework but on the other hand complain about not progressing.

Frustrating for me is that there is actually no progress at all. I have been teaching them for a year now and the upper-intermediates still speak as badly as a year ago, let alone remembers the grammar I thaught.

I sometimes doubt my teaching skills... I have just passed my first teaching year, but still, I don't think I'm that bad

Oh, and what happens all the time: "Please, we want to speak more" (which baically means they only want to have conversation classes) but they are hardly able to form a sentence - no matter what level.
