自己紹介回 (Mark, British teacher in Vietnam)

Pretty quiet, nothing special. But no complaints — so far so good.

Honestly nothing exciting, but I'm fine with that. Quiet weekends are underrated. How about yours?

It's raining, so I had to duck under an awning. Honestly, I almost didn't have the energy to show up today.

It started raining, so I'm huddled under a shop awning, camera off. And I nearly skipped today — kind of dreading Monday already.

I restarted English about three weeks ago. I was on DMM back in 2020, quit for years, and now I'm back — not sure why.

I picked English back up three weeks ago after years away. Quit in 2020, then just drifted back. Something pulled me in again — couldn't tell you what.

I got really sucked into English as a school kid. I'm no math guy, but English just hits different from Japanese.

English grabbed me as a kid — the sound, the rhythm. I was hopeless at math, but this hit different. Funny how one language just wires into you.

Listening, I'm fine — decades of just enjoying English content, never really studying. Speaking's a different animal, though. I get no chance to use it.

My listening's solid; I never studied, I just enjoyed the content for years. But speaking? Different animal entirely — I've got zero daily reason to do it.

AI will replace most jobs that require English — it's basically a perfect translator now. But talking to AI feels empty. There's no person behind it.

AI will swallow most English jobs; it's already a flawless translator. But it leaves me hollow — no soul on the other end. That's the one reason I'm here with you.

Teachers here are hit or miss, but you're a hit. I don't want one-and-done lessons — I want to build a real relationship. I'll book you again, camera on.

Good teachers are hit or miss, and you're a clear hit. I'm not after one-off lessons; I want something that lasts. I'll be back — camera on, real topics.
