|
|
Hi
I'm not in China, but I work here in the U.S. with numerous Chinese students and now associate professors studying here through the China Scholar Council. 'Disney English' in China came up this week and I'm wondering if anyone on this forum can tell me what it is?
I did a search and found nothing here. |

| It's a chain school. A training centre that uses Disney characters to teach English to children. |

'Did a search and nothing came up'?!!! Hand down the back of the sofa for coins kind of search was it? I mean, I don't have to search anything other than the old grey matter to 'work out' that combining the words 'Disney' and 'English' as a business name.....  |

I've heard it's a quasi-cult-like negative energy force that makes blood sacrifices to the Almighty Mouse.
Or a chain school. I'm not sure. |
