• Êtes-vous native d'un pays anglo-saxon, y avez-vous vécu, avez-vous eu un professeur qui vous a donné envie de vous plonger dans la culture en question ?

  No, I am originally from Germany and I have been in contact with the anglo-saxon culture or language very little.
  My focus earlier in life, also in my studies was predominantly anglo-american.

• Si vous deviez présenter la culture anglo-saxonne en quelques mots, que diriez-vous ? Et entre nous, est-que que vous aimez vraiment la cuisine anglaise ?

  The only thing I could talk about is that I've always appreciated the English pronunciation (from different regions - I also
  LOVE the Scottish dialect).
  Two things I would like to find out for myself one day is how the English deal with their tabloid culture which seems to me a lot more aggressive than in the rest of Europe and how come that a lot English, to me at least, never seemd to feel very European.

• En quoi savoir parler anglais est important dans les domaines scolaire, professionnel et personnel, en plus de savoir où se trouve Bryan, de frimer sur son CV et de regarder Game of Thrones dès sa sortie aux US ?

  It is important to the point that I don't even consider it to be a foreign language.
  Undoubtedly, it is nowadays the common ground for most nations to talk to each other and so if we want to connect, we should
  all make an effort to learn English.
  It is a nice language to have as a common ground because it is not TOO difficult to learn.

• Citez le personnage vivant, historique ou fictif qui est, selon vous, le représentant emblématique de la culture anglo-saxonne ! Alors, plutôt Shakespeare ou James Bond ?

  Queen Elizabeth and her grandchildren.

• Pour les anglo-saxons: Y-a-t-il, chez les Français, un mot, une expression, une tradition ou un comportement typique qui vous amuse particulièrement ?

  Well, I am German, but I can say, that I have never seen (young) people talk about cheese more than two hours before I came
  to France ;)

• Pour les non anglo-saxons: Y-a-il, chez les Anglais, un mot, une expression, une tradition ou un comportement typique qui vous amuse particulièrement ?

  Their drinking habits and their behaviour as soccer fans :D

• Quelle est la difficulté principale de la langue anglaise et ce qui peut favoriser son apprentissage ?

  One advantage at the beginning is that there is not so much grammar!
  Later on, the difficulty is that there are not so many grammar rules ;)

• Quelle est, dans le cadre des cours, l'anecdote la plus "fun" ou "weird" que vous pouvez nous raconter ?

  I'm not sure if it's fun, but I could NEVER make the French understand the difference between 'after' and 'afterwards'...and believe me: hearing ' and aftEURE' a hundred times from 20 different students can make this tiny word quite annoying...in a funny way, of course ;)

• To be or not to be un Superprof ? Quelle est selon vous la recette pour le devenir ?

  Always have fun teaching and place the fun before anything!! In the end, everyone will learn more if the class or the teacher can be appreciated - children and adults egalement ! :)
