I have developed a method of teaching English pronunciation fluency well – with laughter, playfulness, and joy of discovering each aspiring learner’s innate talents.
The challenge for me is how to charge for these services outside of the US, for here I still want to make it affordable, which I have determined will be $30 for 1 1/2 sessions.
“Peanuts” to the American Capitalistic standard.
But, to an Egyptian over a year ago, multiply 30×18 = $540 US equivalent for a session. 1 US dollar was then worth 18 egp.
Therefore, I have decided that in international “less affluent” economy to American economy situations, I would like a session I give to provide me equivalent of a meal for my family, but that my fee should not deprive a student’s equivalent of their family’s week worth of meals, for example.
With the new student I taught today, we will see in the next week what that amount looks like from Egyptian to American currency perspective.
I believe that the gift of language should not be prevented by dictates such as money.
