印度人教英文

anteater

點解我見好多出名的幼稚園其實都係印度人教英文?  佢地標榜係NET,不過其實D英文真係有印度人的口音....

印度人冇問題,但有口音我就一定不能接受.有得揀,abc or bbc 都好d ar

印度人教英文本來問題不大,
因為一般印度人語言天份高,
說起英文來,不但流暢, 而且用詞豐富,
可是以個人經驗,
我不太愉快,
因為她們跟白人很不同,
同樣是讀得不好,
白人大多友善又包融,
使小朋友舒服,不會覺得害羞或尷尬,
但是印度人會要求嚴些,高些,
會指出你犯錯,
你會覺得無禁自在.

請問邊間係印度人教英文架？

我個人唔介意印度人教英文 , 我都遇過幾個沒有印度口音的印度老師 , 且发音清淅 , 另外 , 就算菲傭的英文我也不大介意 , 最重要小朋友溝通到 , 講得到和聽得明 , 試問將來交朋友 . 讀大學 .做生意又怎可只選某國家的人呢 ? 我跟老公以前也討論過呢个問題, 佢都同意我的想法.

我又唔覺阿女有菲律賓口音喎 , 且佢好鍾意對印度人 . 美國人 . 金頭髮又或深膚色的人溝通 , 仲主動跟他們Big Hug , 我諗這也是對小朋友的一种教育 , 而家interview見外籍老師 , 完全可以溝通到 , 我同外籍老師說及小女在家的情況 , 原來佢聽緊我們的對話 , 更立即起身做埋果样嘢出來 , 所以"日子有功" , 就算菲傭的英文 , 也不用介意喎 !

此乃個人意見 , 沒有冒犯 , 純粹交流一下

Very much agree with what you say.

我舊公司有辦幼稚園
請純正英文人好難架, 佢地知自己價值, 要求高, 咩admin野都唔理, 連做教材都話唔關佢事, 只負責教, 心情當然好啦, 仲有, turnover好高因為佢地易轉工
不過做佢老闆就慘lor........所以好多時會考慮印度人, 佢地有d英文唔差的, 而且肯做合作
我都覺得如果口音唔差, 我無問題的, 之前我都搵左個nz鬼教我女英文, 學charlotte2008話齋, 出黎呢個世界, 好多人講英文架嘛, 唔會個個都用"靈格風"咁純正既口音黎溝通, 接觸下唔同既人都無壞既

I have several Indian friends and I must say their English is actually much better than most NETs.  The only issue is accent.  Even famous kindys (I won't name names) do have a few Indian English teachers.  I guess it really depends on the personality of the teacher about their style.  My kids have an Indian teacher and they are ok with her and her accent is ok.

係呀!如果有accent令妳覺得唔舒服；就要搵d冇Indian o既學校!
但唔同私人補習；幼稚園妳冇得揀老師；只可以揀讀定唔讀。
對讀N班/K1 o既家長可能會覺得白種人老師會優越d，但我想3年後(或不出一年)或會有唔同體會。

One more point : As long as the Indian teachers are nice and patient to the kids, kids will definitely feel and respond to them well.

At the beginning of joining the playgroups, I asked my gal to give big hug before leaving......and the teachers would even kiss her. Then with times, even facing diff. teachers at another playgroup, she would actively give big hugs to teachers ..... so funny !! She is not scared of facing foreigners.

That should also be a kind of training for kids.

我o既個人意見，講真我女女間學校都有唔少印度人同NET教英文，但我就覺得佢o地都好有愛心，而且講o野又生鬼，我個女細個o個時我都報過D人人話好出名而又價錢合理o既英文Playgroup里面全部都係印度人教，我都要陪一齊上堂，我又唔覺得佢o地有好重o既口音，仲有我自己o既睇法係，俾個女聽多D唔同口音囉，剛剛過去o既暑期我估都估唔到幫佢報咗個暑期班一個禮拜兩日o既課程有個黑人教o添，開頭我都驚佢驚或者會唔鐘意，但佢放學同我講個老師好好人，好鐘意個老師，有時小朋友o既o野你真係估佢唔到。

加拿大人同澳洲人D口音都好唔同, 就算英國人唔同地方都唔同口音la (London and Scotland). 只要發音正確就ok la係唔係?

咁如果有學校話用NET但其實是一個普通話好好的100%香港人(從未在大陸住過)教普通話,大家都應可以接受.

NET = Native English Teacher
It does not mean PTH (Potonghua).

Honestly speaking, we cannnot request the kinder to employ what nationality or what country origin of the NET or PTH teachers as long as they are professional. But of course, they have to be well-trained and also passed those professional language exams and even with training on child care or education.

dont get me wrong, I dont have issue w Indian teaching my kids.  in fact, the best instructor out of all the extra curriculum lessons that my kid attends is an Indian (but its not a lesson for english), she has 2  master degrees.

the point is that if a school have difficulty finding 'native speakers' then they should make it clear and not to mislead parents.

Yes.... but a Chinese can also be a native English speaker if she / he gets used to speak in Eng, say born or educated in foreign countries. So the kinder have not cheated or misled you if that Indian really speaks Eng well.  

So even an Indian may also be a native Eng speaker. My former colleague (an Indian) was working in Paris.... he was indeed a native French speaker as he got education all thru in France..... his Eng is also good..... so a NET may be at all nationalities.... not just those with white skin or blondy hair.

Just sharing.... agree with me ? .... :)
