Uppre has a Q&A with founder and creative head of Englishjer, a youth collective focusing on building a better ecosystem of learning English.
The level of English in the country may be slowly deteriorating but it has also opened up opportunities for passionate language hustlers to do their part in elevating the country’s proficiency in the language.
I used to bring around a marker pen when I was out in town to correct notices and signs, but I got in trouble for that. Being on Twitter is a much easier way to correct people’s English. There is no security guard to chase me out. Seeing people grow throughout the activities is what keeps us going. The stories are just incredible, and we also have a deeper insight on how our informal systems sometimes are a problem to learning English. We work together on that every time.: Well, we are huge on Twitter, people ask us a lot of questions there. People also share stuff they’ve learnt so it’s really became a community thing. We helped carve a small niche for education content in social media.
