      Just wondering… what’s the English requirement for most employers? Simple words / Basic English refers to words like:

      - cook
      - have, don’t have
      - must
      - Did you do?
      - Do you know?
      - Cannot
      etc etc

        just picked up my new Indon helper yesterday… she is replacing my existing Indon who is going to leave in 3 weeks’ time.


        the new girl doesn’t even know what is a ‘dog’!!

        i really need help… anywhere we can send them for english course?


        my kids go to childcare, the helper will basically be alone the whole day with my dog. i will sometimes call home to give certain instructions… and most importantly, i need her to be able to understand english used around the kids, eg, milk, sterilise, medicine, etc.
