English is fun.


English class today 05/07/11.

I’m Thai and never been to a boarding school. I remember that we had little dialogue at the start of just about every English class. As the teacher entered the class all of the students would obediently stand up and say “Good Morning teacher, how are you?” and the teacher would answer “Good Morning, I’m fine thank you, and you? ” to which the students replied “I’m fine thank you” and the teacher told us to sit down. The lessons began after that short conversation.
I have learned basic grammar and basic vocabulary. I could not remember much about what I’ve learned because the class is very big about 45 students per one teacher. Students could not get chance to practice, the teacher run all the show. My English was not useable after high school. I guess all the Thai employees form Khaolak Scuba Adventures have the same experience.
My English start to improve when I studied diving. I learned a lot from diving manuals, divers on the boat and European colleagues. I met many boat crews who could not speak any English on the first day of working on the boat. Few years later they speak some basic sentence but still not good enough to have specific conversation.
Mr.Cherdchoo Chatpong (Oh) the owner of Khaolak Scuba Adventures knows how important it is to have staff who can speak good English in the company. It makes for a better service and customers’ safety. This low season we have a native English teacher come over to teach English to Thai staff who work in the office and on the boat for 2 months. All of us get to come to the office at 9am to study until 11am on Monday to Thursday. All of us get back to work at 11pm and finish work at 5pm.
We really hope the English class will help all of us to have better contact with customers and give us ability to provide better service.
