 Next question, which is pretty close to the first ones. So as a non-native speaker, what were some obstacles you faced during your first year in China? And actually not just first year, but all of the rest years? I would say I can't recall any teaching wise. Like when I got my job for everyone knows that I'm not a native speaker, right? So I mean, I didn't lie to her and say, hey, listen, like I know this, I've been there, like I have this diploma, I have all of that. So I was pretty honest about my experience, about my resume. So I didn't have to prove that I was, you know, native or non-native, so that wasn't the thing. I think the only obstacle, not even an obstacle, but it gets a little dicey when it comes to communication with parents, right? Unfortunately, a lot of parents are not as educated as we wish they were, right? And they have this presumption, oh my God, like my English teacher needs to be from America or needs to be from Canada, right? Which is far from truth because like as non-native speakers, so pretty much we learned English from the age of seven, maybe or eight or six going from ABC. So we know how English works. We know the challenges that child might occur, my experience while learning the language. So in many, many cases, there's studies done by the respected scientists, respected theologists, saying that non-native speaker actually is better in introducing language to a child, right? On the first date because that's what it is, right? That's what it is. So and again, but other than that, like other than that, other than talking to the parents, it doesn't really exist. I mean, like do I need to prove myself that I'm not, I'm a good teacher, but I'm not a native? Like it's not really, I'm not sure where the room is coming from. And as far as I remember, some schools, they try to make you lie about your origin. Is that right? Oh, that's right. That's right, please don't do that. Yeah, please don't do that. So again, let's say the school tells you, oh, wow, okay, like you get a job, right? You get a job, you start on Monday, but when you get, let's say when you get approached by the parents, please make sure it's telling that your name is John and you're from Kentucky, U.S., right? Something like that. I said, whoa, what's going on, right? So don't do that, but be honest, right? And my advice too, like be honest in China, be honest. They don't like lies. They can see right through you. They appear to be silly. Oh, really? Oh, something is wrong with the connection. Oh, sorry, you've just come for a second. Yeah? Yeah, so could you just repeat what you've said? Like if you lie, so what happened? Yeah, so please, yeah, like I avoid lying, right? Cause I mean, lying is something that they have no appreciation for. They have no tolerance for that. And sooner or later, like it will come up, right? I mean, cause it's obvious and there is a lot of educated Chinese, they see right through you, right? You tell them, hey, from the U.S. like where it works in U.S., like, you know, what street you lived on, right? It just doesn't make any sense. It does not make any sense. Be proud of where you come from. Be proud of your nationality and prove them that your hard workers show them the results of your work. That's it, that's what you have to do. All right, so the most important thing is to prove that you are educated, not that you are a native speaker. Yes. That's what's most important. And thanks so much for watching.
