Hello, my name is Abena (some of my students know me as Judith) and I’m a language teacher, who has been teaching general and business English online for over 5 years. I have taught over 4,000 private classes as well as several hundred group classes.

 

In addition to being a language teacher, I’m also a language learner of Spanish and Korean and know firsthand the frustrations and challenges as well as the ups and downs of learning a language.  There are days of great enthusiasm and motivation followed by days of discouragement and a desire to give up altogether.

 

My goal in creating Hang Out with English is to offer an alternative approach to English language learning where learners can improve their language skills in the same relaxing and comfortable way as they would by spending time with friends. 

​

The phrase ‘to hang out’ is a phrasal verb that means ‘to spend a relaxing time with a friend, or in a place’. 

It gives the feeling of relaxed contentment. 

​

When we hang out with friends, we feel calm, comfortable, relaxed and happy.  We are not shy or nervous to express our feelings and thoughts.  We don’t worry about what to say.  We know that we won’t be judged because we are with people with whom we feel very comfortable.

​

Learning a language should be the same as hanging out with friends and should give us the same feelings of calmness, comfort, relaxation and happiness.

Hang Out with English allows you to improve your English language skills in a relaxed and comfortable space.

​

Come and join me and others on this journey as we hang out together to share and exchange ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

​

Happy hanging out! 😊
