unblocktheplanet Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 QUARANTINE for 3,000+ foreigners. This is a good test. Let's see what happens. Certainly teachers are more needed than businessmen, if we have our priorities straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but but British English was never European English and will never be American English. Nice graphic though. Australian, New Zealand and Canadian English may just be passable though.

The Filipino teachers are here and just followed all the rules equal to farang. Maybe they are just more smarter and on top of the game? The companies in the Philippines who arrange these contracts charge a LOT of money and they possibly paid all the upfront costs. It is possible the Philippines government assisted too as Overseas workers are extremely important to the economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filipino teachers are too poor to pay for the insurance, they are too stupid and barely can speak or teach English, etc. Its laughable. Or maybe they are just stating facts? Its getting a tad tiresome reading about anything said about non white people in a negative way MUST be racist. Please grow up and stop getting your panties in a twist for nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Thais and foreigners. I am surprised that there is such a demand for schoolteachers as surely a lot of people won't be able to afford the international school fees this coming year 1) Not everyone in Thailand is poor and are on the scrapheap. Those in well paid jobs will not have been affected by covid. Not all jobs for Thais rely on tourism 2) Maybe many school teachers got into new jobs when the schools closed because of covid and have decided to remain in those new jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that being a NES doesn't make you a teacher. You need to have a proper command as well as knowledge of the language as well as an exceptional vocabulary. Plus ideally a teachers certification or BE. Not really what these begpacker "teachers" recruited at Khao San Road bring to the table but hey at least they have an Australian/Canadian/US passport. ???? Sorry, but many cannot understand the thick accents of those from the north of England, not to mention lreland or' Scotland. So, to say that an Australian accent is not acceptable is ridiculous. Maybe you are a Brit thus, you can understand them..... Other people cannot!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OumarhindaOunsingha Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hard to believe: how are poor Filipinos able to pay for the expensive quarantine + covid tests + flight + whatever? What will this cost them - 100,000 baht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Philippine people in general speak English phonetically good. Water is water not Wara or Warda as the Americans pronounce it or words beginning with TH pronounced with the phonetic sound of D when used in a word. Dhis, Dhat, Dhese and Dhoes. You make a wonderful advertisement for the superiority of a British education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
