Does that make sense to you? It is the bio of someone offering a 120 hour TEFL course. I was almost interested. Edited November 13 by moontang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is too easy to slip up... but, I was a business major, and I am not selling a course. And what is it with people in the education sector, being so close to the vest about their degree.

AlexRich 8,914 #5 Posted November 15 The “has prepared to adjust” section makes no sense. It reminds me a little of the “flowery” English sometimes used by English speakers born in India. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
