I was so Upset with a Person. Sorry to Phillipinos. I don't have any personal offense to you guys. It happened for 10 min. Today I got a call to have been tested my initial level in a video English company(It's a company which teaches English through video chatting such as Skyp*) I thought I answered well. Btw, when I checked my test result, it was sooooooooo disappointing. It says my level is 4 out of 8. It says my level is 'lower intermediate', while other English academy, YB* in Seoul gives me 5+ out of 6.(at least high intermediate or more) My pronunciation part is lower than other sections(approximately, 40. On the other hand the others are 60s) I was quite doubtful about my result. So I checked it. She said my pronunciation in 'March, Realtor or sibling' is mispronounced. I understand 'March', because it sounded weird when i checked recorded audio maybe from the technology problems. (But, who doesn't know how to pronounce it??????????) but the others? I bet I pronounced it correctly. Instead, her pronounciation sounds a bit weird when she pronounced 'realtor'.( She pronounced it [tor], not [ter]). I was so surprised, because a native Canadian teacher complimented my pronunciation. He said 'it's pretty good'. and my friends have always praised it, too. The other points are her corrections on my sentences. She corrected my sentences to 'My mom's job is in the real estate', 'I sometimes do the washing of dishes' It sounds weird, so I asked a question in 'italki'. People from the US or the UK said that's AWKWARD. I remember when I live with Philipino homestay family in Canada, grandfather and grandmother anwered weirdly to my questions and they didn't understand when I used a bit hard words. I thought I made a good decision that I didn't go to Philipine to study English. Sorry, Phillipinos,,, but I think the English in there is only for the beginners, not intermediate and advanced levels. I was disappointed at that company.... I was gonna learn by North Americans, so technically, this level test is not a big deal. But How can I believe this company, since it screwed up from the beginning?
