English Tip)

OK! Let’s get WET! ✨🎓💦 ✨

Teacher: OK. If you decide to stay home, please call the school. ✨☎️✨

Student: OK. Please teach me the school’s phone number. ✨🤢✨

Teacher: 😳☎️

Teacher: 😡🔥

Teacher: I will GIVE you the school’s phone number. However, after I give it to you, you need to go home and study!😡🔥

Student: Look out! BLARG! ✨🤮✨

Teacher: OH NO! ✨😱✨



Students often say: ✨🖊😅✨

Please teach me your e-mail address. ❌🤮❌

Please teach me your phone number. ❌🤮❌

Natives use “teach” or “show” when requesting to learn SKILLS, NOT basic, personal, or simple information. ✨☝️🎓✨

Please show me how to make Japanese tea. ✨🍵✅✨

Please teach me karate! ✨🥋✅✨

Please show me how to use the office computer. ✨💻✅✨

Please teach me English! ✨📚✅✨




When asking for or giving basic, personal, or simple information, natives say and write: ✨💪🎓✨

Please give me your e-mail address. ✨✅✨

May I have your e-mail address, please? ✨✅✨

Please give me your phone number. ✨✅✨

May I have your phone number, please? ✨✅✨

Please give me the school’s phone number, please. ✨✅✨

May I have the school’s phone number, please? ✨✅✨

Would you mind giving me your work phone number? ✨✅✨

Please give me you name. ✨✅✨

May I have your name, please? ✨✅✨

Would you mind telling me your name? ✨✅✨

Do you have a pen? Let me give you my phone number. ✨✅✨

STOP using “teach” to ask for basic, personal, or simple information. ✨🛑 ☎️ 🛑 ✨

    Thanks for very nice lesson.💐💐💐 “Teach” this word let me think of a famous remark 「Teachers are the most honorable occupation under the sun.」said by Comenius. Because they not only teach us knowledge but also teach us how to distiguish between right and wrong🌸
