My daughter’s boyfriend from our small town high school graduated and went to MSU to become a teacher and then travelled to the East. He found Osaka, opened an ESL school and has been there for about 20 yrs or so. He married a Japanese woman, has two kids and loves it and lives well there. He’s well over 6’ and works out a lot and has several tats. Kids on the street walk up and ask if they can talk the “giant white man”.
My first year of French was taught by a Polish nun who studied French in Quebec…talk about an accent. The next year’s teacher, who learned in France, couldn’t understand anything we tried to say
That made me lol
