Me and my brother-in-law, his wife and mine have been doing quite well in Fife the last few years welding the UK new Aircraft Carriers and other ships. Right from the beginning we had this dream of a English training school in China. We don't want to spend too much on it to start with. We want to know if it will work first of all. We will get 30 day double entry visas, so in effect we will have 60 days or so to test the waters and work at it unofficially. My brother-in-law has a degree he got years ago on the BBC2 open university.

We know a Chinese girl in a part of China we will keep to ourselves for now. She is confident of finding our students for us and will receive commission only, after we have taught.

Any advice lads would be good. We have some Cambridge books, 1.2 and 3. We will read and they will repeat to get pronounciation right and remember the words.
