Should I say, “Soy profesor” or “Soy un profesor” and “Fue un profesor” or “Fue profesor”? I am confused, since the un is omitted… Thanks!

Soy de las filipinas, y quiero tus lecciones. I really love it! You know, I can’t speak Spanish until I watched your videos… Keep up the good work, and hope we’ll meet each other personally someday! Gracias…

These videos are great! I go to my college spanish class everyday and learn virtually nothing until I get home and watch the videos. It’s just perfect because it seems like if you don’t grasp something right away in class your just left waddling, but with the videos they’re set up so you can watch them and focus on one aspect. It makes learning much easier. Thanks
