Study Chinese in dalian, It was good!

[damon]

It was during 2008.7-2009.4, I worked for Accenture in dalian. For quite a long time, I wanna pick up some Chinese, however, I always got work to do and don’t have time for those courses in those universities. I think I need some 1 on 1 course, and I don’t want to learn Chinese characters. Very occasionally, I found a school named “Aushi” on Kelton times magazine. I reached them, thought they provide good service, nice teachers, and the cost is reasonable.

Believe me or not, now I can speak hmm, good Chinese , last month, I went to the citic Bank to pay my visa fee, I speak Chinese for the whole morning. That feeling was good!

Oh, I believe you can speak good Chinese alright, in fact, given the name in your email address is a chinese name, and the domain is the same as the company you seem to be promoting in your post, there's very good reason to believe you've been speaking Chinese all your life.

Yes. Now it's time to look for an English school.

I also lived in Dalian for a couple of years and I did go and check out this private Chinese school. “Aushi” I looked through the school and it looked nice, I sure the teachers will be good but the price is not reasonable for anyone on a Chinese salary.

I was wondering how someone would get a posting in one of China's less expat friendly cities with no Chinese, and not as an english teacher. Answered above.

What were you doing learning Chinese when your English needed repairs?

殺之殺之殺之殺之殺之殺之殺之殺之！

I know many who have worked at Accenture. I somehow can't see this level of prose finding its way onto the deliverable.

Come on guys, Trying to promote is not a bed thing.ok u got me. in fact, I telling a real story in the first person. And using a company's email has not thing to do with my level of English, would u be so nice to point out which part of my English need "repairing"?

Time for a English school? LOL I'm done with that.

[imron]

You are correct. Trying to promote is not a bed thing (or even a bad thing), and various types of promotion are permitted by the T&C's of the forums. However, trying to promote by lying, and pretending that you are a customer of the service you are promoting is a bad thing, and something we actively discourage here.

The only reason we didn't just delete your post before it even made it past the moderation queue (like we do with most of the others) is because every now and then we like to mock the people who try to do it, but who do it so badly that it's comical.

[damon]

well, thank u for not deleting it anyway. I got my work to do, and sure u should do yours.I 'll tell my boss that I fail to do it perfectly. but I reeeeeally dont think there is anything to mock about.

and except for the first person version, THE STORY IS NOT FAKED. so I personally dont feel good being called a liar.

so,that's it,sorry guys, next time I may show up in other threads and share sth more useful info with everyone.

I apologize if anyone is bothered by my post this time.

[imron]

so I personally dont feel good being called a liar.

The way to avoid that is simple. Don't lie.

Whether the story is true or not (and what reason do we have to trust you, given you have demonstrated your willingless to try to deceive people), you posted it as if it had happened to you. It did not happen to you, and so the lie comes because you were writing that post as if it had happened to you. To say "except for the first person version it was not a lie" is as meaningful as saying "except for the lie, it was not a lie".

[damon]

Thx for everything. sir. plz give me a hand by simply delete this thread , I thought me,a liar's post may harm our reputation.

Time for a English school? LOL I'm done with that.

...And what were you doing in an English school?

[imron]

plz give me a hand by simply delete this thread

No problem.

First do an honest writeup of your school and what it offers (and don't forget to mention that you are employed there) and post it in the Dalian forum. Then we'll delete this thread.

[self-taught-mba]

This is too good. Don't delete please. In fact let's start a collection.

[muyongshi]

We need to set examples so that people know what not to do

[imron]

This is too good. Don't delete please.

Maybe we'll just edit out the name of the school instead

[Hofmann]

That would be like saying nothing happens to your reputation when you hire people to be professional liars (and spammers).

[imron]

That would be like saying we're going to continue to punish you, even if you have learned from your mistakes.

damon or Aushi?
