Description
Hi! I am Jefri from West Sumatera, Payakumbuh city. The city where I born and grow. The wether is really perfect to me, it is not hot and cold. When I open main door, I can see a Sago Mountain and transportations past away because my house at the main street. I live with my lovely wife, Aissy and my son, Fathir in my mom's house. We like to learn new things and many cultures. I and my wife know each other from Couchsurfing's friend from Germany (we hosted her in different city) after know each other for a mouth, then we got married :D
We run an English course in my house and English Camp program in Harau Valley. The course and camp focus on English speaking skill. We have some students in our house and we also open registration for English Camp every week. Sometimes we don't get student :D
Having people from different cultures and speaking different languages in our course is a great opportunity for us and student to improve our English and communication skills and so on.
