Hi I'm Tim Timmons!Here I am in the Applied Foreign Languages Dept. at Delin University of Iechnology.

This the second time around for my Hive account@delin.english self introduction. My first one was about getting all of my students at the uni I teach at involved in steemit by having them create steemit accounts and submitting homework here. It thought it was a great idea as the students could learn about crypto and make money while learning. However, the admins at my uni put the kibosh on that, so I'm starting again.

Here is a picture of me when I was a student at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Hi everyone! I'm Tim Timmons. I'm from California in the U.S. and I currently live in Taiwan. I teach English as a Foreign Language at Delin University of Technology. I have been teaching in Asia for seventeen years. Six of those years were in China.

Teaching English abroad had been a dream of mine while in college and once I got the chance, I never quit. It was one of those situations where you plan to do something for a short time and then you end up doing it forever. A lot of English teachers working abroad end up in this cycle.

My interests over the years have been, painting, reading, writing, playing in punk bands, photography, film making and a couple of other things.

My interests now are hiking, writing, crypto, language study, and a couple other things. I am fluent in Mandarin as it is the national language of Taiwan. It's not a scary language to learn. It's quite simple, the grammar is ridiculously easy and there aren't a whole lot of words. With Mandarin, words are recycled many times resulting in a lot of compound words.

My interests in crypto range from hodling a few valuable, and a few potentially valuable coins/tokens to participating in ICOs to steemit, which is great because you can make crypto by posting and supporting the steemit ecosystem in a lot of ways.

To focus on my career a bit. Teaching English can be a joyous, delightful experience, and it also can be an horrific experience. It depends on the school, students, your own teaching methods, learners' attitudes, etc. Sometimes just the right amount of great students can make teaching a given class a great experience, and then sometimes the opposite can happen.
