About Me:
I'm a teacher and I've been teaching for 27 years now.I teach Language, Grammar, Phonetics, Literature and History. I learnt to play chess at the age of 9 and won 18 tourneys in different clubs in Buenos Aires. But that's no big deal. Although I'm not a duffer, I'm trying to improve my play specially by analysis of grandmasters' games.
I love music, specially rock, country and classical. Beethoven and Mozart are my favourite composers. I play the guitar, piano and harmonica. I also do vocals.
I have studied and developed a particular liking for the phonological aspect of languages. I've taught British phonetics for eleven years at a Teachers Training College and as a consequence of three years of research I have written a book to help students understand the complicated jargon related to Phonetics and Phonology: 'The Basic Principles of English Phonetics'.
