    Re: A Bigg Intimidation

    don't know what the problem with Biggs is. he's successful, a bit obnoxious, though used to enjoy his weekend morning show on TV with the Thai guy in a wheel chair and the Thai woman where they would talk in Thai for a couple hours about current affairs. good practice for my Thai skills. he certainly must be in the top 1% of Thai speaking ability among farang.

    haven't heard any reviews lately of his schools, though.

    Re: A Bigg Intimidation

    silly thing to say, really...

    are you one of those people who thinks language learning should be very serious?

    what if German was the world's lingua franca.

    would be so dismissive of a person who was successful teaching German on TV and in
    his own language centers across England?

    No but I won't make sure that foreign teachers look even more like clowns than they already do, fun can be had without acting like a fool. I'm sure I could have kids loving me by acting like a dressed up prat, I do it with stimulating classes that are fun.

    Re: A Bigg Intimidation

    But you're just bigging yourself up by putting down Biggs and his teachers.

    That's all I'm saying.

    Just a bit of easy self-congratulation, easy target...

    Not at all, I just don't think that dressing up and making a clown of yourself is the best way to teach. It OBVIOUSLY works for him but I think it degrades teachers to act in that way, I have always managed to have great classes without acting like a clown.

    The guy bats for the other side. Thais love the camp nonsense. You wanna compete with him?
    Teach English with something he can't - music, art, sport......
    He speaks fluent Thai, good luck to him. Plonk him somewhere in the middle east and see how he does.

    Usually this happens when you are a shit teacher.

    Bring your class in there and say "You are so loud we wanted to see what was happening. Hope you don't mind. Go on".

    SO basically, you wanted to tell everyone you met that bald gay fucker?

    Yes. SUperstar teachers show up at my school all the time
