HI Jed
Whoa ! ... Cambodian ... s s s s..sounds like a tough language. You are the man. Just what you saw, i am not a native English speaker, i live in Taiwan, Chinese is my ordinary language. Like your Cambodian, i am far from good with my English (thanks God, my basic English does not make you misunderstood) ... you are not along ... Cheers. There is one thing i should not hide ... ... i knew you living in Cambodia. Someone posts it on his blog, and i read.
Seriously, I cannot clearly understand your reply, it seems a big riddle. I must confess myself completely i am not a smart student. So, i try to figure it out.
In the beginning, i think your hint is - I should improve my English for further teaching, pool english may misunderstanding your teaching. Then, i think, you might want to speak - Honest is the key of learning, be honest to you, and be honest to myself are important. Finally, i think
similar language might be a keyword in your response, you want to tell me - English is
NOT the real language between us, we should familiar with each other to find the
REAL language out for reducing time spent.
What is your 'similar language' meaning ... ... ?
By the way, thanks your appreciate, i am flattered.
Your suggestion in above reply, i miss it ... bear with me (i know you will ...
). Ya, you are right, Jed. Peace is in me, too. Sometime I can feel it (not only peace, all what i want are in me) ...
, thanks.
P.S. I might understand your reluctance. You want your students are really wanted to wake up from their dream, not goes on dreaming a 'be with you' dream. People who wants to dream a dream, no one can wake them up, all strivings are useless and time wasting.
