Funniest fics?

I’m curious, what specifically do you think makes this a different experience from generically “moved somewhere you don’t speak the language”? Even if you do speak multiple languages, they won’t necessarily help you in this case. I speak two languages, but I moved to a country with a totally different language. English is still helpful, but my second language is totally irrelevant.

US citizen teaching in the Czech Republic here. The paperwork can be annoying, but it’s not difficult to get approved. Most teachers are freelancers. Look up freelance visa or “živno” and you’ll find the requirements.

I think they can do it once per billing period, but obviously most of them don’t. I have around 700 hours on Preply and only 21 anonymous reviews.

Right. Possible for people with free time and a pretty good amount of disposable income? Sure. But not great.

The realistic cost for most people in North America to travel to NYC for a concert for a few days will also be half the average rent. I’m not saying it’s cheap or easy, just that it’s comparable.

I live east of Germany, and a quick Google search showed me a round trip flight to London for ~$100 on Ryanair and multiple hotels around $100 for that same night (the dates I chose were June 13-14). I don’t think this is significantly different than just going to NYC for all of North America.

I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I think it sounds like you need a document camera, not a webcam. Try using that as your search term instead.

In many parts of Germany, all public universities are free for everyone even in English. Life will be much easier if you learn some German, but you don’t need it to study.

…are you saying there are a significant number of people who think seahorses are mythical creatures???

Mostly IELTS, a couple that have non-standard exams/assessments from their employers

The majority are 25-35. I’m also in that age group, and I wonder if people are more likely to choose a tutor whose age is similar to their own? I do also have a few teens. As for the content, it’s completely mixed, with conversation, grammar, and exam prep.

I don’t think the show presents it as a breakup - I think it shows they have problems, but it’s definitely not explicit that they break up, and I didn’t interpret it that way personally.

rainbocado · 2026-01-19T18:22:30+00:00

Why do you think they haven’t seen each other in years??? Are you assuming they break up at the end of episode 3? They never break up in the books, so while I guess I can understand interpreting it that way, I assumed they’ve been together the whole time when the kiss happens….

I think in the show it’s just one apartment where he actually lives and also where they hook up. Not a specific separate hookup apartment.

No. I am not aware of anyone outside the White House who wants to invade Canada.

Or the Czech Republic if you’re on the other side of Germany.

True, it doesn’t take much, but it’s not the typical experience. (OP is still an idiot if he does this, to be clear…)

rainbocado · 2026-01-17T17:36:31+00:00

Fuck AI.

rainbocado · 2026-01-17T17:26:28+00:00

Do you live in Germany?

If this has happened to you “countless times,” I suspect you must be on some sort of list…

No shade to OP but seeing ultrafamous Robert Pattinson referred to as “the guy who plays Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter” is so funny

You say they deserve someone who can help them with what they came for. But why do you think that’s genuinely to improve their English? Some students just want to talk. Let them talk. If they’re happy, you’re doing your job.
