[loki almighty]

CMIIW but i thought u can only use english here ??

 

[CalvinLimuel]

Yes they should have...

 

[eickel]

hmm sory if my english not good..

(yang saya tau) TBI based is british, and EF is american..

For price, i think it same, just a little difrent..

a long time ago, i kursus @ TBI (general) n its vey very useless (i think) n now, i kurus @ EF (conversation), but it recent 1 week, so my english still not good, but i now i have a liitle bravely for speaking english.. hehehe..

nb : just 4 information EF (conversation is rp 350.000 / month + 150.000 for book, and 1 level is 3 month )

i'm sorry if my english not fluently
still practices until now..
i took EF in english business, hope in this program there's improvement

SEMANGAT (^O^)

I took EF.. its not really american, in fact most of the teachers are british
my friend took TBI.. its not really different I think
I wud say they both are just about the same

 

[vjrizqi]

i'm so sorry for using indonesian language, i'll try to use english from now,
i already calculated:
- in tbi there are 60 hours/ level(for general english) n there are 20 levels in tbi(for general)
cost /level for general english aproximately 2,5 million
- in EF, there are 32 hours / level, n there are 10 levels for general english, and the cost/level for general english approximately 1,4 million(in IDR)
CMIIW with the grammar


hmmmm which one is better?

 

[eickel]

oww, im sory if i wrong..

i think EF more easyer than TBI.. (just my opinion, coz i hv 2 kursus @ both)

btw, what the meaning for CMIIW ?? that a akronim ??

** lets we practise 2 speak english, coz practise make perfect,, right ?? hohohoh

I'm not sure about EF, but, TBI, being The British Institute, well..

Sometime ago in January they had this exposition (really I'm not sure what it's called) in Galaxy Mall and it was near this restroom to which my friend had to go. I was strolling about by the passage to said place when this guy from TBI greeted me. I don't remember how it began really but I told him instead that I was looking for a job, and it could be in the English field. He asked me if I had ever lived abroad and said I had a bit of an American accent and that I should come by and talk to the manager. But then again it was a BRITISH institute, so considering I had an American accent wouldn't it be awkward to teach in there?
And then he told me flatly, 'Well, I'm Canadian.'

How uncanny!

i have try at tbi sby but i think it not good course,i think EF better than tbi ,in surabaya the tbi theacer always change after test,and I think the lesson is very boring

Great Results with TBI

Just stumbled on this forum..its all in English which is nice. I'm a foreigner in Surabaya and some of my Indonesian friends have been sending their children to TBI for a while now and their kids can speak well. Having lived here for a while I find it very odd and annoying how kids can say that a certain lessons are "boring" or this place is more fun than that place. Do you think Harvard, Yale, the top 100 universities in the world, or the best schools have "fun" lessons/lectures...ha ha. These kids can speak and understand me and my kids isn't that the whole idea.

 

[tripper]

I don't know much about TBI, but I think EF is good for beginners.

While I recommends to take LIA course :p

 

[v0LtaGe]

In Pekanbaru it's only EF,no TBI

I've joined a course in LIA<and graduated in 06.

LIA is a good choice though.

just practice British accent there like me and some American actors.
or if allowed, just keep your American accent, but teach with British English.
here are the differences between them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences
