I agree Harry there are a lot of Polish people who think that they are qualified to teach English however the teacher has no experience of English, never heard a English accent apart from watching BBC, never been to the UK or spoken with a Native from the UK. I have even found that after lessons with a Polish person who teaches English my students are still making basic pronunciation errors because that it how their Polish English teacher says the word ?!?!?!?!?!?!? I have been approached by several people I teach if we can move to do it privately however I have resisted as I agreed with the schools I teach in that if that was to happen I would stay true to them rather than scam them.

Roger I am a qualified TEFL teacher, I refer to people as grammar robots as there are certain methods of teaching which only teach the grammar rules e.t.c and forget about the actual language itself. I have found that the English grammar rules that they are taught in Polish schools is far more in depth to what I was taught at school ( Probably because I learnt them naturally from early childhood ), and this is the way I like to teach people the natural way to speak. Personally I do not know anybody in UK that talks English without any dialect at all apart from the Royal Family. I moved to Poland as my wife is Polish and we needed to move over for personal reasons regarding her family, and as a chef with 20 years global experience and fed up with the trade the only job opportunity out there was for me to teach my language to Polish people, and I chose it to provide for my family, and as for saying I give the profession a bad name well I think that you should look in the mirror. Anyway I have had enough with all this bad feeling on here, my English may not be perfect all the time and I apologise however I'm doing it for my family and people seem to like the way I teach my classes with my personality and sense of humour coupled along with my ability to teach Native English.

If we all followed that advice surely the world would be a better place!! I'm not illiterate, I put this as this is how the dialect is from where I was raised and before you start slagging off where I was raised I would take you back to my previous comment and my what my Mum taught me. Nice to see everyone is so bothered to slag me off and put me down, but when a fellow brit needs advice or help no-one really helped, thats the great British spirit hey?? obviously how we should all stick together hey?? D-Day spirit as my Grandfather would say ( before anybody starts with that one careful, he was one of the first off those landing crafts). Thanks Skippy for the advice.

SCHMIZNURF I am very glad you are perfect in everything that you do, however it was a mistake on my part ( a typo if you will ) to put " a language schools " when this "a" refers to one language school rather than plural. I also put "would of been a cracking job" as this is how Natives talk, trust me I would know I have been a Native for 36 years now. If you ask all my students they think that its great to have me as a teacher as I am teaching them how to talk as a Native not as a grammar book robot. Lastly I was always taught by my Mum that if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!!!!
