Most Awesomest Class Ever? Quite Possibly

Well, well, well. Where does one start when assessing such a course? Anyone who's ever been a student of Mgr. Marek Vit is going to flat-out tell you how great his classes are. I doubt that's a coincidence. In fact, I've never heard a single serious complaint against him or the way he teaches English. Every time I hear people talk about his lessons, it's in superlatives only.

I dig how easy-going he is. I swear I've never seen him frown. Not once. Even if you couldn't somehow think of the most trivial thing ever at the moment, he wouldn't chew you out for not knowing it. Instead, he'll try to help you with whatever it is you got wrong and get you on the right track in a positive, uplifting manner. Respect.

The idea of blog assignments is also something that shows how studying/learning doesn't have to be the most boring process on the planet. Writing these actually gives me a chance to do something about my writing skills, which I don't exactly think highly of, and enriches my vocabulary along with it. I have to admit: I spend a lot more time on this than I ever thought I would.

I was going to complain about the fact that we don't use the coursebook enough, but hey. This is college. Self-study. That's what you should be doing anyway, if you want to really learn a language. No school is going to help you with that by having you sit in a room, going through excercises you can just as well do at home. The classes are there for people to interact, and in that regard, these classes, again, deliver.

I almost wish there was something really bad I could point out because typing this, I'm earning some major minus points in my social sphere. But I don't care. When someone's this great at what he or she is doing, especially when it's teaching, I will show my respect and admiration for the person. It should be every man's virtue, to be honest. This is a fact. And just in case naysayers are reading this: bite me.
