So you are saying that in Mississipi they say:

I lost my twain of thought.

Choo choo twain.

Teacher twainer.

大家好,

我有一个小问题问你们。这个问题于怎么用“多”.

第一)   感冒的时候,要喝多水。

第二)   你需要多练习。

 

我分不起这两个怎么用“多”。

而且怎么用“多一点”?

我可以说“要喝多一点水?”吗

 

你们太辛苦了,谢谢!

Mute... I buy that. I'm a teacher trainer at New Oriental. I am supposed to teach the teachers how to teach English. Only problem is, no-one speaks the darned language.

They walk around repeating words (badly), "Twain, twain, twain, twain." When I tell them they are saying "Train" badly they reply, "Well you are British, I am speaking in an American accent."

I usually tell them in a very serious voice that they are speaking bullshit English and then teach them how to do it properly. Something you learn teaching the students, is that you have to make them lose a little face before they will listen.

I think Liyang's Crazy English is utter rubbish. It just makes students shout bad English. Have you seen the guy's TV show on Shenzhen TV. Oh my word, what a lot of rubbish.

Everyone talks like they took angel dust the night before. Problem is no-one really takes English teaching seriously enough. Don't waste your money on one hundred ten yuan books, go to England for Pete's sake!
