Started to teach English to children (via whatsup)

[Wild Bill]

Downloaded schoolbook "English for 3rd class" published in 1953. I choose so old, because it better than modern books :(

And stumbled on some problems.
Think we'll just skip this page :) Because i just don't know how i will explain who is this :))

[Wild Bill]

Or this

[Wild Bill]

But all in all, this book much better than with wich my son learning English in today's school.

[Wild Bill]

I am sure they will ask, wtf is going on :)

[Fat Cat]

Not surprising that older books are better, you find that true in country after country. Educational specialists have fucked up all sorts of relatively simple things like teaching a child a language or mathematics. BTW, were you a pioneer? My wife was from the last generation of pioneers in Yugoslavia and even competed in Tito's Path of Revolution.

[Wild Bill]

Yes, I was a pioneer.
And I was proud of it :)) I was ten years old.

[Fat Cat]

Atta boy!

[Wild Bill]

:)))

[Turdacious]

What the fuck is Pioneers? Are you crazy?

[Wild Bill]

It is better just to forget what Pioneer is :)

[Fat Cat]

[Wild Bill]

Wow...
But they are looking too old to be Pioneers.
Or it is me becoming old and starting to forget things :)

[Fat Cat]

Hahaha, ya maybe but don't fight it! I'll help the one on the far right. But you're right, this is more like it:

Bill,
I remember several years ago when you were struggling with your English. But you persisted. And I recall that later you read Lonesome Dove in English and were able to discuss it with us in much better English. Now, a few years later, I'm amazed and delighted to see you teaching English. Well done comrade. (Or maybe that isn't said anymore.)

[Wild Bill]

Thanks :)

[Wild Bill]

I came here to learn English :) I asked Smet to advice me some English-language resource, where people tallkin about GS, and he gave me link to IGX.
And about month after I came here started conflict with Georgia, and I remember how I struggled throug English trying to say my point of view :)))

[Wild Bill]

I was enforced to reread several times Fat Cat,'s posts to understand what he said, and was desperate that I can not answer him due to low level in language :))
Those trash tallks were a great stimulus to learn :))

[Wild Bill]

So now I can say, trash tallks on topiks wich touch you in some way, are the best way to learn language!

[Fat Cat]

I want everyone here to read this thread and realize what a gift to you all I am.

[seeahill]

You did good. For once.

[Fat Cat]

It's been two weeks, go fill in your training log, fatty.

[seeahill]

Done.

[vern]

Good job Bill!

That's nothing to do with your English.
