Hahahah! I love pants too.

Nothing like some good engrish.

lol This is cute. Is he allowed to post the works online?

Ahahahaha xD

I guess it’s just a matter of familiarity/passion on the topic; guess pants are his passion When I was teaching English, my students’ [a couple of Korean high schoolers] liked to talk about their ideal boyfriend the most.

Someone really loves pants. o.o lol

I don’t see anything wrong with posting this. It just like when people take pictures of signage with bad english.

Really? I wish I had taught someone closer to my age. The kids I got were usually brats. Or at least the boys.

I heard you can make a lot of money teaching English. What did you guys make?

I thought Asians were prejudice against other Asians teaching their kids english?

He can spell abnormal but not name? lol

He almost got name? ^^

It really depends on who you teach… I just privately tutored my dad’s ping pong partner’s daughter and her friend for their extra practice. So I was a cheap service making about $100 a Sunday >_>; Hahah. If you teach at a university or a very providing student… you can make a lot. My friend is teaching at an academy for the summer and I think she’s going to make $2000+ for a couple months.

to Sakura: Probably, but even though we’re Asian or even half-Korean, to them it was apparent that we’re primarily American so at least they’re learning English from native speakers

Which friend? Omg...I want 2k…

No way! 2k won or usd? I would hate to teach Korea little kids though. I use to babysit my mom friend’s kids and I nearly killed myself. They’re so crazy and mean and spoiled. I honestly would have slapped all of them if they weren’t paying me.

Oh I’m talking about Jesse, Lan. Actually Thomas started a job too I think.

Anyways, I meant $2,000 USD lol She told me something like 2mill won or something and i was like O___o holy crap. But she just administers exams and grades homework so she doesn’t seem to have it so bad… cept for her working hours til 10pm.

Figures Jesse. Shes a white blonde. ; _ ;

I wouldn’t mind working in her place even if its till 10pm.
