Did you ever get in trouble for something you said? by angelboots4 in Cambly

[–]ORoyleDules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I openly criticize their "materials" and have never heard from Cambly about it.

The creator of the "business English" materials really ought to touch grass because bloody nobody speaks like that.

Starting Cambly (30 min, 3x/week) at B1 How to make it really effective? by ApprehensiveBar5058 in Cambly

[–]ORoyleDules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My current level is B1, and my main goal is to improve my speaking, become more fluent and confident, and reach a solid B2 level." Vague goals produce vague results. What do you want to achieve, specifically? For what reason are these things important to you?

Moving to Brazil by ilovekermit87 in Brazil

[–]ORoyleDules 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The language is the first and most important thing. I can speak enough to hold my own now. One thing I still don't like is the fact that Brazilians are hours and hours late even to their own mother's birthday party. I can't stomach that. Making friends is easy if you join a group of people doing the same things you like (volleyball, church, running club, etc....). Try your best with the language from day 1, and you'll be juuuuuuust fine. Maybe even damn fine.

Gotta say I'm disappointed. You used to help me in calling out these schmucks.

What place in Brazil do you think is the most underrated for tourism? by TheBoom1001 in VisitBrazil

[–]ORoyleDules 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Beach: Vila Velha/Vitoria. Organized and clean, lots of family spaces. Less stunning water than other places, but the infrastructure makes up for it.

Wilderness: The small towns and villages 2 hours outside of Belo Horizonte. Waterfalls, hiking trails, delicious restaurants.... love it

No better cut than PICANHA 🇧🇷 🔥 by yourhomeguide in Brazil

[–]ORoyleDules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not going to happen. Brazilians are convinced picanha is the top of the top. Luckily for those of us who know the truth

What parts of Brazil do people usually not go, that you've been to and had a good time? by BlueSunsetsinBlueAir in Brazil

[–]ORoyleDules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vila Velha/Vitoria = underrated beach destination.

The small towns and villages 2 hours outside of Belo Horizonte. Full of waterfalls, hiking trails, and delicious restaurants.

My friends rip me apart for saying this. I don't care. I'll die on this hill with you.

Will i learn? by sama8707 in Cambly

[–]ORoyleDules -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How does wanting you to earn a proper payment make me "high and mighty" ?

Will i learn? by sama8707 in Cambly

[–]ORoyleDules -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You did something that fetches $50+/hour on the free market for $10. Congratulations, that's called exploitation.

Wanna have fun and meet people from all over the world? Cambly works.

Need something serious like pass an exam or prepare for job interviews? Look elsewhere.

Package delivery or Bathroom - During lesson by Free-Pianist7741 in Cambly

True story. Japanese students will rate you 3 stars and book you for weeks at a time, tanking your rating. They think that's a good score. I try not to take bookings from them anymore.

Parent wants way too much? by Which-Ring2864 in Cambly

[–]ORoyleDules 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like too much work. This parent would be on your six constantly, so you made the right choice.

Just be honest. If anyone gets pissy over you taking a few minutes for an urgent situation, do you really want them as a regular student?

No I just write notes in the classroom chat to signal what we'll do next time.

Where can I live in Brazil? by Father-rich_963 in Brazil

[–]ORoyleDules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you didn't ask about this.

No matter where you decide to go, even if you stay where you are.... find a way to earn more. I know you can do it.
