there’s an oversupply of teachers apparently. Most of them are not native English speakers, africans speaking saffies and french canadians imparting their hilarious accented English. Anybody with white skin can teach English in Taiwan, even eastern europeans.

Proper British English… is that with a geordie or a cockney accent?

don’t know… will ask. :slight_smile: I was asking for a friend of mine.
His voice sounds almost exactly like Peter O’Toole(at age 50).
When he speaks, it’s as if you’re in the presence of royalty. :slight_smile:

Peter O’Toole eh? :frowning:

Unfortunately, most students here wouldn’t understand him.

Do you think he could dumb it down, put on a North American accent, and try to sound more like “a tool?” :neutral:

Peter O’Toole would be a great name for pron.
