I just can’t imagine some Laotians in U.S who still speak ESL would collect fees when teaching our own people over there; that would be terrible though. Neither I expect nor would I recommend our people to pay a high fee if they are being taught by Caucasian Americans unless they have a degree or a college background.
I personally think they shouldn’t be teaching for money at all without earning a grade of C or better in English 1B. Not all Americans attend college, so don’t be surprised if their vocabulary is so poor. They don’t even know the definition of “Repatriation” anyway.
I understand our Laotian people much better when they speak English than I would understand the Indians or the Vietnamese. I tried to increase the font size here so just to make it easier to read. It didn't seem to work for me.

Why would I try to speak like Thai anyway? Not that I try to be conceited here, but I don’t speak ESL like those Bangc0ck people. My English passed ESL level years ago. If I ever run into a Bangc0ck monkey, I would be just fine speaking my Laotian Language. The problem is, Thai in U.S especially women, have always been too polite to me and I just don’t have the audacity to be mean to them. They would call me, “Pee, pee, then cha, cha” I sometimes think they give me more respect than I really deserve. I used to teach and mentor a 16-year-old high school girl from Thailand whose brother was once married to a Laotian lady in Bay Area. She was not getting a government grant or scholarship because her parent paid for all her expenses. It was a private high school where she attended. I must admit that this girl was very dedicated; she spent hours studying. Her ex-sister -in-law who is Laotian asked me to assist her English and elementary algebra and I did. I could see it in her eyes how much she appreciated me. I would swing by at 6 o’clock in the evening until 8:00 o’clock mentoring her for about a month. My God! She was very sweet greeting me with her two hands raised high above her chest then said, “Watdee ka pee Bruce” and I responded in kind. She walked me into the room. She made me her Thai coffee and after 45 minutes of mentoring, I would take a cigarette break. She would lean so close toward me every time she asked a question and her aromatic smell pungently entered my innocent nose and I realized at that moment I was completely in love. I think she knew it too. Regretfully, I kept telling myself not to take it to another level because she was still a minor at the age of 16 and I was a fully grown man.

I used to study in Thailand and have a Thai girl friend as a lover, but we have to end our relationship after my graduation and I went back home. Long after I left her, I heard that she has a new boy friend. She was a very pretty and charming girl, but I was too poor and didn't have a good job afther finishing the school and she still studying at that time and I have never gone back to see her again. She must have thought that I have ended our relationship for good. Later, she married a Thai man and I left Thailand for Laos. It was sad story for both of us. I never forget her.
