i wanted to help teach english to foreign immigrants. i was told that my english would not be good enough and it is only people who have gone through the tefl or efl courses etc that could teach english to incomers, i cannot afford to pay for those courses-- some costing up to £2000. i am a pensioner and if over 70 odd years of living in the uk is not good enough to try teach or help incomers-- then i don't know what is.

my japanese friend has spent a fortune attending an efl school-- but still cannot understand when english people speak to her.

i am only too willing to get to know incomers from anywhere-- but the stupid rules and regulations do not help one iota,

a lovely indian family moved nearbye a few years ago-- i tried to be friendly-- but the lady of the house told me that We do not like them. i wished to help her with her english-- but she was too scared.


she assumed that she was not wanted whereas i would have relished befriending her and her family.
