Coming from HCMC where they have large screens in D1 set up for everyone to gather and watch. Does Da Nang have anything set up? Or does anyone recommend a good place to watch with other fans?

Hi everyone, I already have my TEFL and truly want my CELTA, but im wondering if I can make it. Is this the experience in most CELTA classes and I need to suck it up, or do i have an off Instructor?

Just finished week 1 of an in person CELTA course and have a few questions. I know it's supposed to be an incredibly intensive workload, sure. But im trying to figure out if this (negative) experience im having is specific to my Instructor, or if all CELTA courses are like this:

1. My Instructor seems unorganized. The important sign offs of our finished lessons, reviews etc don't have the correct dates. We point it out and he says he'll fix but hasn't days later. He says he'll send us other needed documents but needs reminding. Didn't even give us a correct elevator code foe the building (was missing 3 numbers).And is quick out the door when class is over.

2. His lessons feel very jumpy. It's hard to take notes in an organized and clear way. Is that normal in the course?

3. Some of my peers' lessons seem to go, more or less smoothly though not perfectly, and he'll interrupt the whole lesson shouting from the back of the room, "Nooo, Now do this....!" It seems to throw the teacher off, along with the students we are teaching. I have heard that our other Instructor/Tutor has not interrupted any lessons so far, but will of course mark it in feedback. It makes me nervous to mess up in the slightest way being that he may take over. This certainly throws us off when this happens. I saw this happen to the best teacher in our class (he already has experience, and is Asian. See below.) and his whole lesson just fell apart after that, it was really disheartening. I can understand jumping in over big mistakes, but micro ones? It feels more damaging than helpful.

4. Seems to pick on some of the Asian students in my class, I and a few others have noticed. (Im not of Asian decent, so fortunately its not me). And the students we are teaching, he seems to make some...somewhat odd remarks that almost feel slightly racist? It's tough to witness.

\*side note:\* He has lived in this Asian country for 12 years and doesn't know any of the language. Does that come off as odd? Living off of a monetarily cheaper country but not being interested in the native tongue seems...like a decision.

5. Online folders seem so hard to navigate and find the things im looking for.

6. Tells us, "this is the most important sheet in the course" but makes us share sheets so that only half of us have them. Fine, we can make copies but seems odd compared to all of the other pointless papers we've accumulated. He got truly angry when he wanted some sheets back that a student started writing notes on. Embarrassing for everyone in the moment.

7. Teaches all of his lessons through demo-lessons. Why do i have to fill out a sheet about Orlando Bloom's childhood when I can be taking notes about his teaching style? I understand this way of teaching for some lessons, but all my essential notes have to be taken while also participating in a demo-lesson. I guess I'd like to see more balance, but is this the style for 4 weeks?

He holds us to high expectstions but doesn't lead by example. The whole class despises this man, it's all we can talk about on breaks. (The other Instructor is lovely.) I was ready for a tough work load, but im wondering if I can last 4 weeks. The 3-4 hours of sleep the first week, and its only supposed to get harder. Constant nightmares and waking up with fierce anxiety everyday. One of my peers was crying in the stairway yesterday, day 5. CELTA general experience, or bad Tutor experience? Thanks.

I'm not a tech smart person, but I recently upgraded from my Flip4 to a Flip7. My pictures came out wonderful on my Flip4, I loved it! Why do I feel like my photos on the Flip7 are terrible? Not just bad, but significantly worse than my phone that was 3 generations older. My settings are stock, is there anything I need to be doing? I never messed with my Flip4 camera settings, the pics were just great as is. Any help or understanding would be appreciated.

Anywhere I can watch the Mexico vs England world cup game at 7am tomorrow? Bia would be great!

My husband seems to be able to make these work for his Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but they aren't working for my Flip 7 without wifi. I'm trying to use Airalo for data and Tello for texting/calling.

Just upgraded from my Flip4 to a Flip7 and was checking out features. I'm interested in turning my Samsung Find on, being that I'm about to move to another country. However I'm wondering if it'll drain the battery? I already set my charging battery down to 90%. Thoughts, tips?

*TLDR: What are your recommendations for a good, sturdy case, that doesn't feel like a brick in your hand? And how essential do you find a hinge cover to be?*

​

Im upgrading from my beloved Flip4 to a Flip7. I've had this baby basically since it first came out. I've never had a hinge protector on it, and haven't had any issues. I dislike bulky/heavy cases. However, a lot of cases im seeing for the Flip 7 have the hinge cover, which I also read can sound squeeky.

​

This is the case I've been rocking on my Flip4 for a few years. Replaced once just to look nice again.

May anyone provide a pit to pit measurment of Adidas replica version, slim fit soccer jerseys? Particularly curious between a Small and a Medium.

I can't seem to find this info online. I found a video saying that the men's Large was 22" across the chest, but i own a women's Large which also measured 22" across the chest. Im confused.
