hey, maybe we can start a firm in the US for these people! There are lots of companies that are hiring out overseas and causing people to lose jobs in the US, so if you have these people pay you to work for free engrish improvement skills, then there would be no need for outsourcing...

The question remains, did her Engrish improve? If so, what's the problem? If not, well then they need to work her harder.
