Your experience teaching English on board ship reminds me of when I found myself teaching conversational English to a large group of Chinese college freshmen who were almost literally “fresh off the boat.” I’m not even sure how I got roped into it 🙂 I remember these very bright young people reacting to the inconsistencies and contradictions of English grammar and spelling with earnest frowns. It probably helped that I knew about 200 words of Chinese.
This is one of several times when the calling of teaching English found me rather than the other way around. Sounds like that happened to you, too.
