Please never apologise for your English
There is nothing to be sorry for.
When it comes to looking at privilege, there are many factors to take into account. I’m not even going to list them, with this title you know immediately I am going to talk about language.
Spanish is pretty handy, and Chinese increasingly so, but it’s English that takes the biscuit. Just by being a native speaker, I can suddenly find jobs all over the world. I can earn using a skill that I never really put my mind to, it just came naturally. After all I have been practising pretty much since birth.
I have most definitely tapped into this resource too, having taught English pretty much everywhere I’ve been. In universities, to the future of Cambodia, and in primary schools, to the youth of India. To businesswomen and men working in Argentina and to Chinese students in London.
It’s been an honour, and more often than not, a pleasure to meet such wonderful people looking to improve and hone their language skills. They are usually open to new things, keen to hear about cultural differences and everything that makes each our countries unique and interesting.
However there’s one problem.
First I would like to..
NO!
