Geonoise Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I still don't get it, all seem so worried about the foreigners with visa's whereabouts, but there are loads of people just walking into the country without any visa / stamps...... this should pose a much bigger danger ?

phantomfiddler Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 How can a Pakistani possibly teach acceptable English to a Thai student ? Even us native English speakers have trouble understanding them ! English teachers should be English (with the exception of Newcastle of course !), French teachers should be French, and Finnish teachers should be finished ????

SteveK Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The British-born Pakistanis still speak differently, definitely not perfect English by any stretch of the imagination. "Bruv" and "innit" are not actually English words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it was tongue in cheek (or foot in mouth?????) I do agree with your comment about Brits and poor English though. Usually the younger ones. As an aside. Why only the farang in the line up. Why not the school owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK phantomfiddler, who do you think taught English language in India during the British colonial time? English speakers of course, who else. Then why are Indians from colonial times until today couldn't speak English with good pronunciation ? There are non-native speakers of English who speak very good English and capable of teaching English as a second language. Though I am not saying this particular case, the Pakistani lady is good at English language and qualified to teach because I have not met her. There are of course Indians I met who speak impeccable English and they are not born in England. So it depends on the individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure a Pakistani can speak better than you. Don't judge a book by a cover unless you cover just another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew this (((English))) bold guy in the USA. He told me that I did not speak English, but American. I just did not understand why he had an American accent and talked like an American.

Mel Bourne Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 A lot of Pakistanis and Africans speak far better english than the farangs you see hanging out in soi bars and many of them have good qualifications. This woman obviously has a problem and no doubt was being paid very little maybe 25k/month. Immigration is checking all gov schools in Thailand including all the whities who teach not just coloured.
