Too Shy?

This giant advertisement for an unintimidating English language school can be found along many of the sky-train waiting platforms. It definitely is appropriate for Thai culture, as one of my biggest challenges in English class is getting students to use the English they know. Many Thai people speak a little English, but whether they are willing to risk saying something wrong is a different question. It would be interesting to know if this advertising attracted more students to the school.

I didn't notice the people peeking out from behind the sign the first few times I passed, but now they make me smile every time I see them.
