This is great. Talk about honesty in advertising! I found this ad posted here on Dave's, for some place called "Busan Little Campus."

"I am one of the five foreign teachers presently working at little Campus. I am certified American teacher. Little Campus is one of the largest and well respected language institutes in Busan. I am really enjoy working here and would be happy to answer any questions you might have."

No native speaker has such difficulty with articles and subject/verb agreement! Perhaps this is a Korean quoting an American. . .who would in fact answer the questions?

It would be one thing if Koreans lied unabashedly and were good at it, but when they're absolutely unable to make themselves look anything but comical, you have to wonder why they keep it up.

Perhaps Koreans actually don't lie more than anyone else but they're just so bad at it that they get caught out a lot more than most people.

I count two errors. Maybe he's posting while drunk.

OBVIOUSLY he would get caught.

"What, xertified American teacher??? There's no..."

PS, never heard of Little Campus.

Wow....that was a strange ad indeed!

As for Little Campus, they have a few schools in Korea and one in Busan for sure.
