If you had to teach something what would you teach?

Well for me this was very simple, because I have made this exact decision lately. About three weeks ago I accepted a job to teach English in Thailand. Am I just doing this because it is more money and less hours? Yes. Am I just doing this because in South Africa you are underappreciated and underpaid? Yes. But all that aside English is and will always be my first love.

It all started before I was born. My dad would read English poetry while I was in the womb. He loved the language so much and taught it for several years before his tragic death. As soon as I was old enough to read I was introduced to books such as Someday the Blue Bird, Buckingham Palace and the Winchester book of verse. I would sit in his classes and just let my mind absorb all the language.
My entire life all I wanted to do was teach this magnificent subject. I went into PR for the variety, for just in case one day I wanted to do something else. And that day has come.

Now, with a teaching contract awaiting me, and the world at my feet I cant wait to begin this adventure. Never mind all the movies you have seen like Gangster’s Paradise, Lean on Me, 187 and Bad Teacher, I am going to show them how the Linti does this. But to be fair I will warn them in advance that this teacher is serious about English.
