Germans teaching English

Going off at a slight tangent here, I was disappointed to see a report on television the other day in which a (native German) English teacher was addressing a classroom full of kids with: "My name is Helga. I am coming from Munich. Where are you coming from?" Blimey, if they're making basic errors like that in the first few lessons, it doesn't give the kids much hope for Abitur, does it?

reggie, I know where you are coming from...but the darned teacher obviously doesn't!

@reggie ...

my daughter had an english teacher who also used to make such basic mistakes .. she had been teaching for 20 years ... and had NEVER been to the UK ...

great hah ...
