The contents of this book reflect the author's successful experience living abroad since 1989 in Botswana, Korea, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.
The main points of the chapters reflect observations of what made his life and those of other expatriates abroad successful and what lead many other expatriates to failure and to return to their home country with a bad taste in their mouth, often with no idea at all of the pivotal part they played in their own downfall.
The importance of teaching listening and speaking skills
The aim of this paper is to show the importance of listening and speaking skills in the classroom in order to get a perfect acquisition of the second language.

Speaking English is the main goal of many adult learners. Their personalities play a large role in determining how quickly and how correctly they will accomplish this goal. Those who are risk-takers unafraid of making mistakes will generally be more talkative, but with many errors that could become hard to break habits. Conservative, shy students may take a long time to speak confidently, but when they do, their English often contains fewer errors and they will be proud of their English ability.
