"Many people put the root of the problems they had learning English down to not being able to speak." Chu Hui-mei says that while there are differences it's difficult to say whether foreign or local teachers are better. Native speakers of English "may not understand what it's like for someone learning English as a foreign language and the kinds of problems they face."
「許多人都把當年英文學不好的原因歸咎於不會說，」朱惠美說，外國老師、本國老師誰教得好，很難二分，差別只在，母語是英文的外籍老師，「可能不了解外國人學英文是怎麼一回事，會遭遇什麼樣的困難？」
