ROFL. sorry everyone i talk to on mene that is in an asian country is an english teacher... *dies*

Haha, yeah, I mean, there's not much any reason to be here as a non-asian if you're not here to be an English teacher. XDDD (unless you're some high-ranked manager here to evaluate a factory or something like that I suppose...)

So not fair that just because they're white they get three times the pay than us 'natives' though. :c

you speak english well for a native... >_>

Er. I'm sorry to hear about that, Dan.

hey anna did you always cuss so much? XD for some reason i don't recall you doing it so often.. but maybe that's just me.

I've been in the states for a few years. xP

@Dystopia: It's ok, the cram school environment wasn't very ideal anyway, wayy too much stress and all. My current job, despite not having much to do with English considering it was my major, is much more relaxed compared to that. :)

oh, i see, you cheated.

xD kidding. i was going to ask if you studied in the US. haha!

@ Wish - Nope. I was cuter when I was younger. Now I'm just sort of a crass bitch. :x

i always lol when you cuss. xDD <3

Yeah, only for three years if you count the time spent in a school though. xD The first four years of my life I pretty much hadn't learned much of anything in terms of language there, and then there was second through fourth grade...so technically my English level is around that of a fourth grader. xD But reading novels helped. :P

lies! that is not fourth grade writing ^

dude. my english in fourth grade was horrible.

I'm pretty sure my writing back in fourth grade was horrible too. xDDD;; But I got better by reading a ton of novels and fanfiction. :P

oh fanfiction is not good to learn english from ROFL many writers have bad english~

@ Wish - Lolwhai.

:U Its kind of sad. I'm ESL but my English is better than most people's.

i don't know it's just hilarious XD maybe because i don't think you are the type of person to cuss like that? Haha... but then again i haven't talked to you in a while. :P

i'm ESL too. ...in kindergarten and 1st grade i couldn't tell the difference between cousin/sister and no one corrected me. -.-

@ Wish - xD;; I've changed... For better or for worse...
Lolol. I probably made similar/worse mistakes.

ESL here too. xDDD

I remember having the hardest time trying to memorize how to spell 'closet'...mom was frustrated with how I couldn't seem to remember it and spelled it out for me. It was like an epiphany; "Oh! So it's just 'close' with a T at the end! Why didn't you tell me so?!" xDDDD

ESL all around!

Lol Dan. That's awesome. XD

LOL your mom spoke english as well? That's good that she helped you out there~

we had to write journals/tell our class what we did over the weekend. i would always tell them my "sister" didn't live with me and she lived downstairs with her parents. my teachers probably thought i was insane or in a soap opera drama or something because i said i had parents and she had parents but they were not the same parents. i think for a whole 3 years people thought i had majooooor family issues.

rofl. Oops. That's amazing.

But understandable. I'm Korean and in Korean, we refer to siblings and cousins in the same way.

Im baaack~ -noms on dessert-

wb. C:

yah but these esl teachers never corrected me!!! >_<!!!

Where I was, children were not permitted to learn a second language and it was highly discouraging. The thoughts at the time were that if a child become bi lingual sp?, then the child might not speak their first language as well as they could ahve. We now know this is nonsense as children pick up second languages without compromisjng their first language.

my parents don't speak english. so there was no choice.. xD
