English for Everyone

A blog about learning, teaching, and living

Hi there! I'm Meredith, an American expat living in the Czech Republic. I've taught English for over 10 years in 3 different countries, and I'm here to share my tips for teaching, studying, and living abroad. Enjoy my blog, and feel free to send me a message if there's anything you'd like me to write about!

Happy reading!
