People have been saying I should head over to Hong Kong for ages and this was my first proper time. ( The only other time I’ve been here was when the aeroplane I was on had an engine fire and we had to do and emergency landing!! But that’s another story.).

I was expecting the English language scene to be great, maybe some Genki Maths could help, but they wouldn’t need any Genki English, would they? Well, the average English level here seems to be as bad as Japan! I’ve been doing a bit of Mandarin lately, but I should have learnt some Cantonese as hardly anyone spoke English!! Although to everyone’s credit they did try. For example where as in Japan people literally run away if they have to speak English, people here would go and ask someone how to say something and then come back and say it. So things could be interesting here after all….

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
