It's a new academic year. Welcome returning and new students! I look forward to sharing a great year of learning and practicing your English skills.

Most English speakers are NOT native speakers!

Did you know that...
350 million people are native English speakers. 
1.3 billion (1300 million) people who speak English are NOT native speakers. 

In other words, there are almost 4 times as many NON native English speakers as there are native speakers of English! So, English Language Learners, you are in the majority!

I will be on vacation during July. You may continue to work in USAlearns and Skype with your classmates during that time, but I will not check your work. I will return in August, when JM begins the new school year.
