I learn English in the public toilet. (James, Taiwan)
Hi there,
Sometimes, I learn English in the public toilet in Taiwan. I said “sometimes” that because I don’t use the public toilet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In the public toilet of Taiwan, there are three devices which are toilet, urinal, and sink. Above each device, there is always a poster on the wall. What does the poster say? It teaches you English. Thus, you could learn English during the time of using the toilet, the urinal and the sink. Sometimes, I do learn English in it.
I would like to show you a couple of photos which I shot yesterday in the public toilet of Ilan County Sports Park.
***** The below one is 2 samples of the poster. ******
left side( sample A): You just spit on me.
right side( sample B): To err is human, to forgive is divine.
A friend told me that he used 2 or 3 urinals to learn 2 or 3 poster of English when he were urinating,
Please have a go to learn English in the public toilet when you are in Taiwan.
Well, if Taiwanese friends tell you that they need 10 minutes to do their urination, do not make a fuss, they just want to learn English but not for the aged reason.
Something like this, it just like that people study in the bus, the Metro (subway), or other transportations.
