The Adventures of Menace and Cheddar Bob started with the decision to leave the safety of the bubble at home and travel across the world. We left the comforts of the familiar behind to take on the challenge of teaching english overseas. This is our story....

I think I'm turning Taiwanese...

We've been teaching here in Taiwan now for about 2 1/2 months. I've noticed a few things:

As hand talkers already, Denise and I have morphed into wild, crazy arm flailing machines!

Our speaking has slowed down and we enunciate very, very CLEARLY!

We have made our sentences very simple.
"Very bad!"
"So good!"

To understand completely, please feel free to view the Ms. Swan clip. I'm pretty sure it's an accurate comparison.

If you find yourself as a recipient of our new way of speaking, please don't be offended, old habits die hard.
