Your written English has a lot of mistakes, obviously- some of them quite amusing- but it's understandable to me. Oh, and Mixi too. Well, not the amusing part maybe... also my spoken English is better than my writing. I can't say- but I imagine you'd probably be understood by someone try to understand you. The first few years I spent in the US, many people claimed not to understand what I said. It wasn't _always_ my fault- and I'm fluent in English btw. If you dictate exactly what someone says when they speak without a script, you invariably find a lot of grammatical errors! -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

If his income is declared properly, then he is almost doing this as a free public service. He may even be doing it at a loss. Why not if you give me a chance to start something. I would accept to loose a bit at the begining. Of course maybe latter i would be obliged to raise a bit my prices if i realize that i can't survive. Only those never trying anything never succeed. USA has the reputation for being easy with those setting up something, show me then. |

If your income is declared properly, then all you had to do to shut Mixi up ages ago is to say so. Instead you left the impression that your proposed work is "on the black". So - which is it? I want you stop about "on the black", i'm tired of it. Anyway if you don't want give me directly the money, I can give you the name of a company for being in charge for all taxes. And then the company will pay me back. But you need to multiplicate prices by 2.3 i guess. It would be exactly as you hired for a teacher. And the subjet would Paris and France. I would get more informations about that tomorrow if you want. |

From my experience most people speak better than they write. I teach people English every day, and believe me, most of them write far better than they speak. For virtually all students of foreign languages, speaking fluency is the last or second-last skill acquired, after reading, writing, and listening. (Some students speak better than they listen, not because they are good speakers, but simply because they never have a chance to listen at all.) Written language always precedes spoken language unless they've had some pretty unusual experiences. Children may learn to listen and speak first, since they may be more exposed to the spoken form of a language than to the written form. But that's children, and here we are dealing with an adult speaker. Furthermore, even if this person spoke exactly as he writes, he'd still be extremely difficult or impossible to understand, especially if the depth of his accent correlates with the magnitude and number of his errors in grammar and vocabulary. Anyway, from your continued discussion with the OP it seems you understand exactly what he is up to. I've inferred what he is trying to do, which isn't hard with a name like TourLeader. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
