Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
I think I'm officially the last one to post an introduction. Sorry for being so late. My schedule has been horrific.

I've taught English in 5 different countries (Japan, Hong Kong, China, the US, and Saudi Arabia). Taught English to Elementary kids for 6 years. For 14 years, I've taught Business English at major corporations, and for 5 years, I've taught Academic English at colleges and Universities. Recently started to train students in TEFL and IELTS exams and was also an invigilator.

Got bored and now am doing academic research for kicks and had a few articles published on accents and their effects on employability and teaching swearing during the past few years.

Recently, got a job in India via the State Department teaching applied linguistics at a major university, which starts next month.

I want to get into the publishing side of things as I kind of want to get out of the teaching side of it. Moreover, I've published a children's book and an awful romance novel under a pseudonym. I figured I should tackle writing a textbook on swearing that'll hopefully be better than the romance novel.

    Rehmat Ebrahim My husband and I won't be in India until the end of the month. He's from Mexico and so is my mom's family, so hopefully we'll be used to it.
