أغر؟´«أ½

What do you do, exactly?
I'm a Team Leader here at أغر؟´«أ½ Learning English. What does that mean? I make some of the programmes, such as The Teacher videos, but also get to do the boring admin as well!

How long have you worked for أغر؟´«أ½ Learning English?
Since 2006, though I've been at the أغر؟´«أ½ since 2002. I started out as a news journalist in local radio. Before that, I taught English in Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Japan and the UK.

What other languages can you speak?
I have the broken remains of various half-learned languages floating around my brain: these include Spanish, Czech and Japanese.

What's your favourite website (other than Learning English)?
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It's great to follow what my friends around the world are up to but is also horribly addictive and a total waste of precious time.

What's your earliest memory?
3am this morning. My kids wake me up a lot.

What's your most embarrassing experience?
Getting some very crucial details of a very serious court case completely wrong in a news bulletin I read out on live radio. I hope nobody heard.

Where's your favourite place, and why?
A good pub with old friends. It's an unbeatable combination.

What would you be doing now, if you didn't work for أغر؟´«أ½ Learning English?
Be in a good pub with my old friends.
