Q: Anyone interested in starting an English Corner up in Baiyun?

Hello you all,

I would like to start an English Corner somewhere near Baiyun Airport, or at least nearby.

I was wondering if people would be up for it.

I think it would be a good way to network and generally meet new people.

I noticed that most of the English corners that I found online were rather downtown, or what I assume to be downtown, and it is really far from me, so I can't participate.

Any Chinese, or even foreigners, interested in an English Corner in GZ Baiyun? If yes, I will arrange a meeting point and time for everyone to exchange on several topics and progress together in English.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Usually English corners are forced on by someone's employer as part of the job. Not many people are going to volunteer to be surrounded by a mob and asked questions without some form of compensation. Unless it's at a whore house and they are giving away sexual favors to speak with an English person. Other than that you are going to be hard-pressed to find people to do for free in their free time.

But hey...kudos to you for doing it.

It's tough.

Try making short videos in tiktok

sorrel:

English Corners are about talking, not 'showing'

they would take place where 'showing' something on a phone is not possible.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ...
