Pandemonium posted:It's not the SA mentality. It's the mentality of every ex-pat who is not an ESL teacher. We're all raging with jealousy because we (in some combination) work a shitton more than you, get paid less, have more stress, have more responsibility, have more ambition, have more pride, and/or recognize what a joke the ESL industry. quote:If you are an ESL teacher in Taiwan, you get paid way too much for what you do. There's really no two ways around that. But please, explain to me why ESL teachers deserve to be paid the same as senior managers in Taiwanese companies who work 60 hour weeks.

GD = Goddamn, yes  Sebastian Vettel posted:Nah, I actually think simplified doesn't really go far enough. If it was up to me, I'd just get rid of characters altogether. 你真是個完美的西洋鬼troll。你知道大陸有多大嗎？好大好大！ 我忘記了它，可是好像有一個成語可以表示漢字的優點，好處，它的意思就是不管你去大陸哪裡，大家都認識漢字，你不用怕溝通的問題。那個成語好像是“東西南北_______" 我知道你的頭腦太小，無法學會像中文那麽困難的東西，可是你真的太自私。而且對我來説中文並不是很難，中文是個很直接的語言。例如說中文的esophagus就是”食道“，食物的道路。你看，有那麽簡單！ 比英文簡單！Transgender是"變性"，改變人的性別。超easy哦。

No business pays what they think people "deserve," they pay what is, in their calculations, most cost effective. They might be wrong, but that's how it goes. 謝謝經濟教授。我懂！ ESL外師的收入愈來愈低，意思就是他們不值得賺那麽多錢。我同意！ quote:He needs to go stare at a pond until he dies. 什麽意思？ Pandemonium fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Feb 21, 2014 |

It would just be way too good. He cannot do that since they would be using what is according to him, an objectively bad and wrong version of Chinese. Plus, he might lose the circle of sycophants who he seems to mistake for friends and credible sources of feedback who seem to be currently shoring up his delusional grandiosity and rabid narcissism. Probably not a big deal since he does not seem to be able to perceive either cultural cues or criticism. Fortunately he seems to be able to come here and hold forth, stimulating the conflict necessary to feed his narcissistic hunger. I can't really imagine any other reason he would first implode in the language thread and then here.

Hey Pandemonium: I prefer simplified Chinese because Traditional looks like: a) someone is testing out a pen b) very dangerous, too many sharp corners and I might get my dick stuck in characters.

Near Taipei Main Station, outside of exit Y16 (or an exit just before our after that maybe) there's a large, business-oriented shopping district. Lots of stores selling packing materials of all shapes and sizes around there. Plenty other cool, mostly practical stuff too.

Failing that, regular Tupperware box with some polystyrene beads or something will probably hold you over. It's a short flight right?

kenner116 posted:How many hours of class per week? A three month, 15 hours per week course is 27,000 here at Chengchi U, which I believe is one of the less expensive programs in Taiwan. Nine hours, three days a week, so quite a bit more per hour. Hopefully worth it though. E: The course is Chiayi National University.

This thread kinda exploded in the last day or two. I know my Chinese is decent enough because I married a woman that can't speak English, and officiated our own little wedding in Chinese. Also, random teashop girls would say that I am very 棒 and taxi drivers said that I speak really 標準. Some high praise from those that rarely dish out praise.

The essence of passive-aggressive posting distilled into one sentence. Kudos. That's my bad, though. I always thought Narcissus killed himself, not starved himself. But then, I was always more of a fan of those Northern Europeans and their clearly superior in every way mythology. Barto posted:The tofu aunty knew I was thinking in wade-giles Good thing no one here actually uses Wade-Giles for anything other than romanizing names, least of all Aunties and A-Mas.
