Nothing in my reply to you was sarcastic.

 

But this is:

your nephew never received English instruction before a year ago, and he did it all on his own. Great - contact the Guinness Book of Records and the Natural History Museum.

 

The problem with this kind of discussion is that everyone speaks a language, so everyone has an opinion about how best to learn or teach a language.

 

 

ta, just great, had a good laugh at this one

 

(reminds me of a Canadian friend, works with airport security in Asia,

Now that's what I call an "overnight success"! Yesterday's news:

Three quarters of Thai English teachers are only at elementary level - or worse

Amazing progress, yesterday 30,000/40K at elementary level, today 17,000/40K exceptional and raring to go! Thailand the hub of education!

Tried watching and waiting for 20 years in Thailand, "risk adverse" doesn't even begin to explain the attitude of Thai teachers!
