English
I am very good at English, whether it is speaking, reading or writing the language. I believe that I can teach others to also be good at English because I enjoy speaking the language. I got more than 70% in English when I was in matric and it was quite a big achievement for me. I went on to do English in my first year of University and I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the language then.
