The comedian from Zelig: his books in English
Do you remember that nice British guy who made everyone laugh so hard on the Zelig stage? Well that was John Peter Sloan, who has always been the kind to aim high from when he was a little kid and wanted to climb a mountain…so much so that he started teaching English to Italians, which is something complicated, to say the least!
The British comedian on Zelig: the origins
What lovely memories… remembering Zelig… however, John Peter Sloan did not stop there. Making the most out of his teaching experience he has written some books, very interesting books, to be honest. These have proved to be especially useful to those Italians learners who find it quite difficult to study a language that is different from their mother tongue.
It is likely that very few people know that this person has invented a particular teaching style which allows him to teach English while playing and having fun. He also tried to use these same methods on the Italian stage dedicated to comedians.
