What annoys me at my school...and this happens quite a bit, is that everyone there knows I am a native English speaker but hardly ever approach me for help.
Ex: A warning pops up in English on the school computer. Teacher A "Hmm...what is this? I can't read it." Teacher B "I have no idea, oh now, what shall we do?" Teacher A "let's leave it alone, or let's call a computer expert."
How hard would it be for them to just walk up to me and ask me? This happens quite a bit, with things like documents or English written instructions. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with Japanese culture? Where I'm from, if someone needs help go and ask for help. |
I feel ya. I teach in an engineering company. I'm there almost everday. I teach almost every single person in the office once a week. I go out with them and often the conversation is in Japanese. Mr. Tanaka gets an email in English he can't quite understand. Hmmmms and haaaaas for 1.5 hrs and then...MAYBE asks me for a bit of help. LOL  |
