You can put ads in newspapers, that's a good start.

A positive comment would be to suggest you learn to speak correct English before you attempt to teach it. There are many fora online that can help.

Yes, better than the standard bland uninteresting signs and I believe the method works.

A standard form of advertising in rural Colombia is to hire a car and driver to slowly drive up and down all the streets playing a tape or talking over loud speakers. Lately I've noticed a few of the tricycle bikes fitted with a light metal canopy holding speakers and the front cargo area containing a battery.

This trend is spreading worldwide. England is doing their part.

I think this would work for a Medellin breast augmentation clinic. Someone should be able to apply it to a Renault Master using a lightweight replica of a COW CATCHER bolted to the front and covered with 24 ga. sheetmetal attached with drywall screws.

Man, I know so many people wanting English lessons from native speakers - it's impressive. What is equally amazing is the look on their faces when I tell them that I don't want to give classes.

Come on,, this is a pickup line. They don't want THAT answer they want your phone number. I'd get a cheap prepaid cell phone. You can change the chip when it reaches an unbearable call load.

Nice pick up poco - but believe me, the people who asked about classes really did genuinely want them!

just one of those things. i've heard this before, and i've probably used the same phrase at some point in time. being native speakers, we can do whatever the hell we want. :)

edit: ugh, why does this site not support any sort of useful html tags that indicate quotes?
