We're really lucky to have her as a teacher - not only is she a native speaker, she's a real spark plug.

How to translate? (en-ru)
Нам очень повезло с этой учительницей - мало того, что она носитель языка, так она ещё такая зажигалочка.

Например, она может включить музыку в телефоне и первая начать танцевать, подавая детям пример.

We really hit the jackpot with this teacher - not only is she a native {English} speaker, but she’s also a very “physical”/hands-on teacher in the sense that she’ll put on music, for example, and be the first one dancing, to get the children going.
Translator's comment
This kind of needs some extra explanatory words in English. I don’t think we have a noun for this type of person, except, unfortunately, in the sexual sense of a woman who gets a man’s “blood” going and then leaves him with nothing but the wish of further romantic escapades.

I hadn’t looked at your comment when I wrote my translation. I’ve never heard SPARK PLUG used like this, but it’s all over the internet, so post it! 👍🏼

WOW!!! Uly, огромное спасибо за перевод с пояснением. (Блин, в Language Live, с которого сейчас пишу, нет эмотиконов). А что касается spark plug, я просто нашла его в словарях. Оказывается, и они бывают на что-то годны.)))
