Excellent lesson. Milica took the time to ask how I liked to learn, then launched me into speaking and listening to Norwegian. Writing sentences in Chat so I could see and hear them was so useful, and means I have the phrases I need for revision. Milica was also really helpful answering my grammar questions.
My name is Milica, and I work as a middle school teacher in Oslo. My main subjects are Norwegian as a mother tongue, English as a second language and social sciences. Earlier I worked at two different language schools, where I taught Norwegian as a foreign language. I also work as a translator for Scandinavian languages (Norwegian, Swedish and Danish), since I have studied both Swedish and Norwegian for many years. I speak Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Norwegian, Swedish, some German, and a little Spanish. I´m passionate about languages, literature, and culture, and I love to share my knowledge with others.

Teaching Approach
My university studies in languages and pedagogy gave me the theoretical background to understand how languages work. The 10-year-experience gave me the practical knowledge and awareness of how people learn and begin to use a second language.
My teaching approach is supporting, motivating and positive. I have high ambitions for my students, and I want them to explore the language they are learning by using it often, actively and willingly. I like to share my passion for languages with those who want to learn.
