About me
My name is Greg and I am @cockneygringo. I love sharing knowledge, and I am here to help.
Do you feel like your English is not good enough? Or maybe you feel your studying is just not getting you where you want to go.
Sometimes being fluent is more psychology than it is studying, and a lot of teachers do not understand that.
They want to teach you grammar when your focus is communication, and ask you to study advanced books that are full of useless vocabulary for your personal objectives.
✨ I started CockneyGringo because I felt like I needed to help people realise their own capacity. I saw teachers correcting mistakes that I would not call an error in pronunciation, and most natives would call this an "accent".
I got so worked up one day that I created my instagram and decided to join the revolution. I have a close group of Instafriends that have the same opinion. Some natives, some Brazilians, but all focused on killing the belief that the only way to learn is through studying grammar.
A 5 year old communicates perfectly well, but has never studied grammar. How can this happen? Why can a child do it when we find it so difficult? Usually because the teaching system for language is upside down.
❤️ Come and join us in the learning revolution.
