Worked with the Drescheibe group II yesterday and today. Very good potential when you approach everyone individually. Had a total of 14 young people with different backgrounds and goals all of whom had learned at least 4 years English at school. Reviewed the basics (alphabet, frequently used verbs, phases to use on the telephone, describing one’s professional background, simple present, job descriptions, question words, etc.). Also, met with Mark Mittasch, Managing Director of SportRadar.com whose office is just one floor up our classroom. Very bright and organized person, wants to see our iOS TOEIC app once it gets launched since all of his staff needs functional English skills. Looking forward to going back to Gera Friday.[YSaerTTEW443543]
