Looking for a friendly Discord community where I can volunteer to help with English (NOT self-promo)

Hi everyone!

I'm currently taking a health-related break from work, and I'd love to spend a couple of hours 2-4 times a week volunteering in an English-learning community.

I'm not looking for paid work or students– this genuinely isn't self-promotion. I simply miss teaching and would love to put my ESL experience to good use while I have the time.

Ideally, I'm looking for a friendly, welcoming Discord community where I could help facilitate English learning in different ways– conversation practice, discussion sessions, grammar and vocabulary help, pronunciation, or whatever the community needs most.

I'd also be happy to organize or host English-related community events, such as conversation nights, spelling bees, vocabulary or grammar games, quiz nights, movie discussions, book club discussions, or other fun activities that help people practice English in an engaging way.

I'm especially hoping to find a community that's supportive, welcoming, and low-drama, where people are respectful of one another and the focus is simply on learning and enjoying English together.

If you know of any Discord servers or communities that might be a good fit, I'd really appreciate your recommendations. ^_^

Thank you! :)

How learning English completely shifted my mindset, expanded my awareness, and gave me a global perspective

Deciding to learn English is one of the most beneficial steps I have ever taken in my life. Striving to learn this language led me to gain access to knowledge beyond what my native language would ever be able to offer. Today, I am able to search for topics I want to know about in English, watch documentaries concerning those topics, and read books as well as articles.

Also, don't miss the entertainment side! Now I'm capable of enjoying TV series and movies while picking up vocabulary that is new to me. Additionally, I can watch world politics and the events that are taking place.

Another unforgettable point is that learning English has given me a level of awareness much higher than my peers and most people around me.

I am still not fluent (although I believe I will reach that level one day), but I'm able to understand it, write it, and also read it.

I'm not the only person who experiences this. I hope there are many people like me. I would like to hear your experience

Even though I haven't gotten a job or anything out of it yet, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
