Goddamn it!

This will be twice, TWICE, in a row that I have lost my job to some reflexive-consonant-using Indian sitting in a cubicle in the outskirts of Delhi.

According to the Korea times, a company will be offering English instruction via the Internet for much less money than what is currently charged by English academies such as the one at which I work. I haven't checked out pricing yet, but if they can deliver half the product for one-quarter of the price, we're all screwed.

Mom, clear out my bedroom; I'm coming home.

Indians to Teach English via Internet By Cho Jin-seo
Staff Reporter (Korea Times)

An Indian company is tapping the lucrative English education market in South Korea with a person-to-person online tutoring service at an Indian price, known as e-tutoring, or "education outsourcing.''

Krishnan Ganesh, the founder and the CEO of TutorVista, said the Bangalore-based firm is preparing to open a Korean-language site this month to launch full e-tutoring programs for individual students and for companies.

He also said that some 50 Korean students are already enrolled at general English programs which offer unlimited, 24-hour-open tutoring at only $100 per month, and about 200 more are in more expensive SAT, TOEFL, GMAT and GRE examination preparation courses taught by Indian teachers in real time.

"We spent six months of research in the Korean and Chinese markets,'' he said in a telephone interview with The Korea Times this week. "There is a small market on the top of the pyramid for native English-speaking teachers. That comes at $30 or $40 per hour and that is affordable only by the rich.

That's a great news! Indian people will do much better job at teaching english than some of these greedy, arrogant korean counterparts. I hope this online program will completely erraticate all the money hording, greedy, american-wannabe koreans out of business. some of these idiots only have lived in the states for 3yrs and they try to teach broken english to native koreans. Fucking losers! You Koreans are all corrupt! You're a nation of alcoholics, corrupt politicians, greedy whores, and plastic surgery looneys. I hope north korea would wipe out the south someday. Go to hell u motherfucking pieces of shit. And stay the fuck out of U.S.

So fucking what, if indians take over your job? I would rather listen to "reflexive-consonant-using" indian any day over your gay fobby korean-english accent. Yeah, that's right bitch, you are a fucking whiner, who whines about losing his job that didn't mean much in the beginning. You probably went to korea to show off your english, but I bet you were made fun of your english in the U.S. You're a fucking poser. So stop making fun of indians and quit complaining about losing your job you miserable prick! You were overpaid for your broken english and you probably spent it on some fucking club whores and getting drunk off your ass every night. You fucking LOSER!
