We're pooling our money together here at Polydog in order to clean up this dirty industry a little. This post inspired me: So we know who Peregrinus wants on the list. Personally, I'm adding all the "dumb" Michel Thomas students. Who do you want to add to the list?
LOL. Actually Ex never bothered me that much. Goofy does not equate to hate. But from a couple of MT courses that I sampled but never completed, I too can say I hated the dumb students. And how about those characters we find endearing? The "little professor" of the old Berlitz books comes to mind.
Over 1.6 million views for this offensive nonsense?!? SERIOUSLY? I weep for the future of the human species.
I have several MT courses. I think the student that bugs me the most was the woman in the French Foundation course. There were times, driving down the road, that I wanted to take the CD out of the player and chuck it out the window after hearing some of the dumb things she said (and sounds she made in some cases).
Yes, the idiot students are annoying and must shut up. I think that it would be better to have very good students who discuss the things which are difficult and which the people can't immediately hear or know.
As I recall there was a time when this avuncular little guy appeared on HTLAL with a Chinese screen name and went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about his preferred method. I wouldn't put a hit on anyone, but would pitch in for finishing school tuition.
