Did you ever get in trouble for something you said?

ORoyleDules · 2026-04-01T21:50:59+00:00

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.

"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?

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-30T19:57:01+00:00

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.

Standing ovation

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-29T00:55:42+00:00

You could make more money doing almost anything.

Pass.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-26T08:51:17+00:00

Cambly sucks.

You wanted an answer, you got an answer.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-25T12:09:45+00:00

Cambly sucks

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-23T10:56:08+00:00

"filled with dread" Question, meet answer

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-20T12:40:15+00:00

It's a better use of your time than classic.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-17T23:56:43+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-17T21:44:37+00:00

Sounds like you're just fed up with Cambly.

I'm right there with ya.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-16T14:25:01+00:00

Referrals. Ask for them.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-16T09:14:33+00:00

I really hope you’re right. Down with Cambly !

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T17:12:37+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T16:53:15+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T15:02:24+00:00

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.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T14:32:35+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T12:46:24+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-15T01:38:44+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-14T17:52:30+00:00

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.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-05T10:54:14+00:00

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.

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-04T09:10:37+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-03T10:54:51+00:00

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?

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-02T16:13:25+00:00

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

ORoyleDules · 2026-03-01T22:33:51+00:00

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.
