  • nice video

  • @poisedonis Thanks... share with your friends

  • Hi stu,

    Why did you leave taiwan then and not stay there? Was it hard to coach the students there? Some kids maybe quite receptive to the idea of learning english, how did you manage to coach them? It seems pretty cool to go there, I might consider that next time. Thanks for the great video!:)

  • @xfadedpetalx I didn't leave... I am still here and it rocks! Teaching is a skill you gain after time! The better you are at it, the more fun you can have in class... Good luck!

  • @moodphase5 Oh...that's great!:) So you don't intend to leave Taiwan forever? Do you miss your home from time to time? Is the life at Taiwan totally different?

  • @xfadedpetalx Well, yes, Of course I miss home from time to time. I'm going home for seven weeks just before Christmas... This will be the fourth time I'm going home for the holidays... Not sure if I'll stay in Taiwan forever, but it serves my purposes perfectly for the time being... Yes, life here is totally different to what you are used to.... I guess that's the challenge, adapt or die, leave your preconceptions behind and find freedom in the new. Change is the only certainty! Good luck!

  • Hey man, I like your video! I am really curious how you feel about your experience with HESS. I've noticed some people don't like HESS, but I'm not entirely clear why. Obviously not everyone can be pleased. I've checked out the HESS site and it seems like it's at least worth the year contract. Do they have good teaching resources and support?

  • TAIWAN IS AN ISLAND?!?!

  • Wow, all your students have christian names

  • Funny; it always seems lke their first teeth are getting in the way of speaking English and Chinese. The little Mandarin I learned was always from the kids (we were not suppose to speak Chinese in the class); so my Mandarin skills are limited in pronunciation to what I heard from children that age, hampered the sporadic distribution of teeth. A strange dialect for sure when I was out and about the towns.
