3,000 Classes Later: How Talking Every Day Transformed My Fluency

就跟手機一樣，AI已經來了，我們都已經回不去了。身處到處都是AI幾秒內就生成的文章和圖表的世界中，反而我們愈需要強調”這不是AI”。在Native Camp上了三千堂課、花了超過台幣十萬元後，我持續在英語口說表達、跨文化溝通及大學的課堂上展現穩定進步的成果。正是因為這些都不是任何AI可以生成或取代的，所以更顯自己對口說的熱情及長期付出的真正價值所在!

When AI can generate perfect text in seconds, raw, unscripted human fluency is your ultimate advantage. Over four-and-a-half years and 3,000 online conversations, I didn't just learn a language—I built an unshakeable toolkit for public speaking and genuine connection. True fluency isn't about using big words; it's the quiet confidence of knowing you will never freeze when the script gets tossed out the window.

Together, We Shine Brighter: A 2026 Educational Visit to Our Sister School in Daegu

 

對很多韓國學校來說，原來我們這樣入校3天、2晚HOMESTAY的模式是多麼地難得和不容易啊! 專門承辦台、韓姊妹校教育旅行的資深業內人員非常讚嘆我們的情誼真的不簡單，連派來專門過來要協助翻譯的高級主管也自認完全沒有派上用場，因為我們師、生完全都可以用英語溝通。回想從7年前對方首次來訪那時的恐懼、擔心出錯，一直到現在第3次回訪的悠遊自得、遊刃有餘(當然還是有全新的驚喜和驚嚇)，不免感嘆時光飛逝、但也欣喜學生和我的成長!

What makes this international partnership continue to thrive and grow stronger? It is a bond that transcends language and distance, cultivated by discovering our shared values and appreciating our nuanced differences. To me, Korea used to be nothing more than a neighboring Asian country on the map. Now, I have friends here that I can gossip and laugh with at a welcome dinner without holding anything back.

Creating English Reading Texts and Question Sets Made Easy

 

月考命題不想用出版社現成的，何不自己來寫學校的活動、故事，然後出得很像國中英語會考的閱讀測驗？這在以前非常花時間、也很有可能會出現不自然的英文。現在有了AI，幾分鐘就可以生成一篇既符合學生程度、又跟他們學校生活直接相關的閱讀測驗，而且保證非常的素養和會考!

Writing your own reading passages? It’s a nightmare. Trying to design question sets that actually mimic the discriminative difficulty of the CAP? Even harder. But I found a workaround, with a workflow that actually works so very effectively.

From Gut Feeling to Surgical Strike: Diagnostic Analysis and Interpretation of the Comprehensive Assesment Program

對於熱愛「實用英語」的我來說，實在沒有多喜歡「考試英語」，更別說要去看懂這些Excel統計表格和解釋一大堆數字的意義真的很不容易。可是沒辦法，會考學力監測、增A減C、迷思概念等，這些已經變成輔導團必辦的重點工作項目之一。經過一番學習後，第一次的嘗試不太滿意，第二次更加努力想解釋分析的流程，可是老師們的反應更不好，所以打掉重來後的第三次才這麼地令人開心!

I’ve been the 'Real English' guy for a long time. Deep down, I’ve always despised teaching to the test. It feels like the opposite of everything I believe in. As a result, my first two attempts at running the data analysis workshop—Monitoring CAP Performance to Maximize Proficiency and Minimize Underperformance—left a lot to be desired.

Well, after a not-so-good first try and a disastrous second one, I nailed it this time. That's why I'm totally buzzing right now.

The Human Library: Reading Lives, Tasting Culture, and Planting Seeds

 

如果中興大學的國際學生可以是真人圖書館的話，那這二週我們借了三本介紹印尼、巴基斯坦及德國的原文書來國際文化交流(ICE)的班上。透過遊戲、示範、簡報及問答的過程，師生們享受了教科書不會有的美好學習體驗，而同學們專注的眼神和笑容則是我的動力和成就感來源，下學期我們會再續借，就這樣來比較台灣和世界其他國家吧。

Have you ever "borrowed" a person instead of a book? I’ve always believed that the most profound lessons don’t come from textbooks; they come from connection. My ICE (International Culture Exchange) class at KMJH has transformed into a living, breathing "Human Library."

We invited international students from NCHU not just to give presentations but to share the vibrant colors of their home countries.

International Video Conferencing with Azuchi (2018)

這不僅是一堂英文課，更是一場充滿歡笑的台日文化大亂鬥！從猜台北 101的造型構想到底是「竹子」還是「蛋糕」，到《風になる》與《小手拉大手》的跨語言大合唱，光明國中與安土中學的孩子們用熱情跨越了國界。為了讓氣氛更嗨，我甚至親自上陣比劃北斗神拳的拳四郎讓日本學生猜角色！透過珍珠奶茶、動漫以及彼此的真心，讓台日情誼在紛擾的世界中更加穩固前行！

It wasn’t just a video call; it was a concert, a quiz show, and a comedy act all rolled into one! Our students from KMJH and Azuchi JH didn't just practice English—they built a bridge between our cultures, swapping stories about food, school life, and everything in between.

Six Years Later: From "Doing It All" to Enjoying the Moment

2019年2月我們與韓國大邱的慶北國立大學附屬中學簽訂成為姊妹校，同年10月第一次接待KNUMS師生的來訪。那時我無比緊張、壓力巨大，深怕錯過任何一個小細節就可能會出一個大包。6年後，我發現我有愈來愈多時候享受當下、只需陪同姊妹校的師長們及出一張嘴就好，因為學校的隊友們太強大了....

What a week! I’m still buzzing from the energy of hosting our friends from Korea for the 2025 KMJH-KNUMS Educational Exchange. From the opening ceremony performances to the bubble tea workshop, it was just… wonderful.

But as I watched the closing ceremony, I had this flash of memory.
