Our Vet said yesterday
“Your wife told me she is a kindergarten buxiban teacher”
Me: “Sorry, um…she works for a foreign company here…”
Vet: “No she told me she is a teacher”
Me: “Sorry, she must have misunderstood your question…”
Today, Woman approaches outside elementary school while waiting for kids
Stranger: “I have seen your wife, I have a job for her…teaching and some bookeeping”
Me: “She has a job”
Stranger: “She must start soon, here is my card please phone tonight”
Me: “She has a job”
Stranger:“She must ring tonight”
Me: “errrr”
Stranger: “What about you???”
Me: “I have a job thanks”
I am no teacher, I am an ABC. At least I must always do the homework of a taiwanese ABC. My wife’s sister son is always watching TV and not learning English. But his parents are always glad to have him bringing home good results from English school.
So they watch me filling in his homework and the next day give HIM candy for good results. :raspberry: And he hardly can speak 2 words in English.
I hate it. I hate it. To write like:
My name is Roy. Today I ate lunch. Pa spilled the soup. Mama went mad.
STOP giving homework to ROY! (he speaks it: LLLLLooooooyyyyiiiiii)
i get the same, I just say yes, its easier to just go with the flow. Ppl will give U a weird glance or think you are up to something suspicious if U R not an english teacher, whereas if U just say ya I teach english, they know U just wanna get laid and make easy money and not lookin fa trouble
Right, same with me. Work in a Taiwan company and you do not need to worry about sparetime anymore. And all dangers you can encounter why on vacation! The Taiwan work law thankfully erased this danger for me.
