English language consultant
Chances are, if English is your second language, you speak with an accent. Is this a problem? No, not if your listeners can easily understand you. However, if people often ask you to repeat what you have said, or worse, say, 'Don't worry about it', when it is obvious they can't understand what you are saying, then I can help. Do you know that your accent may be what is stopping you from securing that deal, getting that promotion, or that job you are qualified for? I can help- I will analyze your speech, tell you what is happening, why it is happening, and most importantly help you to fix it! I am a qualified English language teacher, have a language school here in Christchurch and am passionate about helping people whose second language is English to be understood the first time. Sessions can be online or face-to-face. Call Lisa on 022 010 5288 for a chat about how I can help you.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
