Hi out there

I live between Bellinzona and Locarno in TICINO (the southern part of Switzerland). I am a Swiss guy (40 years old, father of 3 children, consultant) and I need private english lessons (actual level between first and andvanced / need to increase till proficiency). Especially I need to increase my spoken english (d'ont need it for an exam but for work).

Perfect would be a US (native) person. I am flexible in the days and hours.

Cheers Sascha

US?! Then it's not real English my friend!!

Hi, my name is Jeanette and i am a native english speaker. i am from England and i work part time there as an airline purser. I spend two weeks a month in locarno, because my husbands job is here. I would be interested in speaking with you if you still need english lessons. my email is PM me. kind regards Jeanette.

Why a US native?? what's wrong with the rest of the English speaking world?

Chances are he probably deals a lot with American colleagues and speaking with a native American English speaker would be an advantage. There are some differences, not just accent-wise, which can trip up non-natives of any English dialect.

Calling Chief Sitting Bull or his descendants?

Um, why? We're not talking about those whom the British and Dutch stole the land from, but those born and raised in the USA in the 200-300 years since - who are native speakers of the language. Sorry we don't use the same dialect as you, but that's what the term is there.

I was merely kidding around the phrase 'native American English speaker'.
