 |
|
Anyone ever heard of this guy pictured here? He apparently claims to be a "multi-millionaire" ESL teacher in China. His method is to seat hundreds of people at a time for cheap mass English lessons which appear to involve repetitive recitals. Maybe he does business as "Crazy English" or this International Language Village?

Here's a video of him (or someone) doing a lesson to "prove" how it works.

He's also selling licenses to use his method so, everyone can get rich teaching English! |

Hate to be smarmy, but this is old news.
Here's an excellent article from the New Yorker for an overview. |

Oh dear I've seen this before. He almost looks like he's turning the concept of learning English into radical reform or radical religion.
Well I guess someone had to try it. Fair play to him he made his million... |

| I've also heard of this energetic fellow. In some ways, a nice counter-balance, methinks. |
