Teacher Mike is a young and handsome American who teaches English for free through Facebook page, and people can check his English-teaching videos on Youtube, too.
Below is some of his self-introductions which can help us understand why he chooses to teach English for free online!
A lot of people have asked about the books that I have in my house. Honestly, I haven't read most of them, because they are not mine. Most of them belong to my parents.
许多人问起我房间里的书。诚实讲，绝大多数的书我都没读过，因为它们不是我的书。大部分书属于我的父母。
However, I would like to show you some of the books that I had to read as a university student.
然而，我喜欢展示一些我上大学时必须读的书。
I'm sharing these with you not because I think you should read these books, but because these books have influenced the way that I think about the world and are part of the reason why I care so much about this Facebook page.
我跟你们分享这些书，不是因为我觉得你们应该读这些书，而是因为这些书影响了我对世界的看法，也是我为什么如此关注这个Facebook页面的部分原因。
While I do have a strong background in English teaching, training, and adult education, my degree is actually in political science.
尽管我有着教授英语，培训英语和成人教育的强大背景，我的专业实际上是政治学。
I majored in political science (with a focus on international relations) and minored in women, gender, and sexuality studies.
我主修政治学，主攻国际关系，也对妇女，性别和性倾向有少量研究。
I took many courses on international relations, politics of Eastern Europe, US politics, constitutional law, Asian politics, politics in developing countries, women's movements, anthropology, religion, sociology, economic and social inequality, linguistics, economics, etc.
我参加了包括国际关系，东欧政治，美国政治，宪法，亚洲政治，发展中国家的政治，妇女运动，人类学，宗教，社会学，经济和社会不平等，语言学，经济学等诸多科目的许多课程。
Again, I'm not recomending these books to you. I'm just sharing these pictures and this information with you because I think that it will help you to understand more about my educational background, who I am, and why I care so much about this page.
再次申明，我并不是想要把这些书推荐给大家。我仅仅向你们分享这些图片和信息，因为我认为这有助于你们更多地理解我的教育背景和我是怎样的人，以及为什么我会如此关注咱们这个Facebook页面。
I'm honestly not very interested in English, and I don't care about people having perfect grammar.
说实话，我对英语并没有特别的兴趣，我也不会特别关注人们必须有完美的语法。
I'm not teaching you English because I think English is cool or interesting.
我教大家英语，并不是因为我觉得英语很酷或很有趣。
I know that for many people around the world, English is not important, and that's fine. I'm not interested in telling people to learn English or trying to motivate people to learn English.
我知道对于世界上许多人来说，英语没那么重要，这很好。我无意告诉人们都来学英语，也不试图激发人们学英语。
However, I also know that there are millions of other people who need a free resource to learn English in order to improve their lives.
然而，我也知道有数百万的人们需要有一个学英语的免费资源来提高他们的生活质量。
I know I'm not the only free resource, and I don't think I'm the best. I simply see this page as an opportunity to do something that I enjoy while also making a small impact in the lives of other people in a world that is greatly unjust and unequal.
我知道我绝不是唯一的免费学英语资源，我也不认为我是最好的。我仅仅把这个页面当做一个可以做我自己喜欢做的事的机会，同时，也能给这个极其不公平世界的人们生活带来小范围的影响。
*These are about 30% of the books that I read in university. I sold the other 70% back to the bookstore at the end of each term because textbooks are very expensive.
这些是在我大学里读的约30%的书。其余70%的书在每学期末卖回给了书店，因为教科书很贵。
I must say that it is such a huge blessing for me to meet Teacher Mike's Facebook page. His English pronunciation is so clear and perfect that I have no trouble understanding what he says, which just helps improve my confidence on English listening comprehesion. He has an international view and a heart of gold, knowing his foreigner students' demand points very well. I highly recommend learning English from Teacher Mike. Not only is he our great English teacher, but also a sincere friend who shows us about the different sceneries and cultures between America and Thailand (since he married a Thai wife), food making, and details in daily life, etc.
Here is his free English-teaching Facebook page link. Welcome to join it together!
