What qualities should a good language teacher have?
Daiane: The first and the biggest quality is that they are a native speaker. When you’re trying to learn another language, they might not have the right accent or they might give you [a mix of different accents]. Another point is that a teacher should [be open-minded], not prejudiced or [arrogant], about themselves or their language. I understand that it’s something that happens, and if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher, you won’t learn and you won’t improve. so , those are the two main qualities.
