@Jeff ******

it's horrendous* if you wanna be a Grammar Nazi.

& if it's a rant, so be it 😅

WhoTF cares when sh*te is spewed by a coward behind some face a$$ account.

Take a look at my other reply to your vile comment elsewhere in this thread👍

Cheers .

@Jeff ******

hope this clip shows the hypocrisy yall stew in



Understand one thing My dear Jeff (patronising you ofcourse), humans have created boundaries & its not a Natural phenomenon. So what you claim to be natural of the OTHER you referred to, can as well be the culture of yours albeit in different ways & forms.

Point being Social ills pervade all societies of course, irrespective of the man-made borders.

The Bone I'm picking here, is something related to the appalling attitudes where English Teachers aren't solely sought based on competencies.

It's something that you'll never understand simply because you "luckily" birthed yourself in a progressive society but with an innately arrogant and regressive mind, of course.

Cheers 🍸 🍻

P.S -- you know your own hypocrisy when you have to comment from a fake A$$ account. I'm sure you have a dungeon as a basement doing all the cr@p that you have mentioned 😉

& you're so incorrect about the cultures you're trying to refer to (All Brown skin folks arent your HABIBI friends) - what a waste of time some Caucasians can be ?! (Bad apples everywhere)

@Sé ****

you really think these people stand to claim English competency, like seriously?

@Ajan ******

Sé Rel precisely and one of the main factors that no one acknowledges directly.

There Maybe disparity in pay between folks from NES countries & say folks from PHILI, VIET, INDIA, THAI, but it may seldom be relating directly to the English language competencies.

Accents, Nurturing in NES, etc etc may merely be excuses for the unfairness that largely prevails. Folks would diss this as well depending on which side of the bias they may be.

Cheers 🍸 🍻

@Ali *****

you seem to have some presumptions already.

I mean to say, I don't intend to teach English for "life" & how exactly is that a deterrent from an employers' point of view??

Has anyone ever heard of "contract of employment for life", I wonder. 🤔

Great to know of your Entrepreneurial journey. Smhw JOBS aren't wholly dignified as compared to being self employed or driving a Business atleast for folks from socalled TIER2 TIER3 countries.

@Ali *****

not intending to be patronising;

verbose writing is apt largely at times when spoon feeding is demanded or asked for in certain contexts like on social, as many may not comprehend fully well what could be said in a sentence or few words.

TOEFL is something I may need to take to merely back my competency, but I don't intend to be teaching English for life.

Need something to fund my travels, stay around Thailand and see how it pans out.

In case I need assistance from your Language consultancy, I shall connect. Many a thanks.

Btw, Do you hire or groom folks for language assistance in Thailand or what exactly do you do?

@Jack *******

obviously correct vocabulary is acquired skill & "Anyone" can have it irrespective of whether NATIVE or NOT

@Jack *******

but I bet Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Aussie, southern Mooricano etc is "ENGLISH"

barring the accent, idioms & nitty gritties of growing up in NES lands, if every other competency is similar irrespective of the land one hails from, their English can be ENGLISH -- there the Fact said itself ?!

@Ali *****

there's too much generalization / judgements & often without the basic check / test of English language competency.

Would those same folks who judge geberally judge all Indian accents as NODDINGO, believe that all MOORICANS have ComboySouthern accent?? It's impossible. So it is selective bias deliberated.

Guess I rather start an agency that hires folks purely on English competencies & Also offer at competitive prices to highlight how the Thai's may generally be going for overpriced & below average English speakers

@Jay *********

your last bracketed part sums it up, briefly.

& accents can be neutralized in this emancipated world of 21st century - but then I can't sit & wait for em' to catch up, can I?

Thanks for your well intentioned reflection. Appreciated.
