Entitled Mom Bullies Tutor To Teach Daughter French For $5/h, Shows Her True Colors When She Hears The Answer

Fun fact: a lot of russians used to speak french in the 18th century. The "nobility" thought it elevated them above the "common" folk.

I don't get it when people just expect others to just freely impart their hard-earned knowledge, often come- by expensive years of training and certification. If you want a professional - be prepared to pay for a professional

I can't believe people like this actually exist. The entitlement is so strong it burns. I'm a native French speaker and I took Russian lessons in college. French and Russian are actually quite similar on many aspects. They both use declinations. If anything Russian is way more complicated than French. This person should be grateful to have such an highly educated person to teach her child. The conversation with the boss must have been very interesting.

Thats insanely rude to offer $5 and try to use the boss as a threat. What a crappy person

I will use "Potato Potato" to end a conversation.

Just another story about a mudhead that wants a professional service without paying a reasonable fee. I just wonder why the conversation took so long. She could have told this slushpuppy : "40 dollars per hour or the conversation ends here and now. Yes or no. "

Even good box language courses cost hundreds of dollars. Of course a tutor will cost significantly more. If you want to pay less, try learning on Duolingo and see how far that gets you.

People are dumb

Hope her french is better than her english. "Fluent" does not mean correct, and her english is pretty bad. I mean, better than my russian :) but not tutorial-level, I would say. (I speak 4 languages fluently but would only tutor one of those because it is my native tongue)

Wow, even teenaged babysitters make more than $5 an hour!

I think it's really mean and childish to publish this stuff online. Before the internet this stuff happened but it wasn't made the business of the whole earths population. This is a private matter that I nor anyone outside of this have anything to do with. I don't like this witch hunt mentality and trend that's developing online.

Credit Peter the Great when he decided to adopt western european culture and architecture and French, the language of diplomacy at the time, in order to rid Russia its crude stone age image.

The potato omg I’m dead

potato potato

I didn't get the " potato potato " part? Could anyone please explain? Thanks!

potato potato popato popato

Potato potato had me in stitches ;D

That is entitlement 101 and extortion (advanced lessons) using the "boss". I'm astounded at the passive aggressiveness of the entitled woman. Her lack of worldliness is troubling. She's going to have a hell of a time in Paris. They don't even pretend to put up with her low behavior. I really can't stand people like that. Reminds me of grade school: "Do you know who I am?" "Do you know who my father is?" Really sickening.

I wonder how much she offered the airline to fly the family to Paris?

I used to tutor kids when I was 17. I would charge them 10€ per hour xD

I wonder if the "sister" would accept $5 an hour to teach English to someone? Or even do any kind of teaching/work for $5 an hour!! Very much doubt it.

Anyway what's with the Paris obsession, its crowded with tourists, so many nicer cities to visit in Europe...

F****d with the wrong Russian, this 1-brain-cell monolingual did! I cant believe she felt she could force this girl to tutor her daughter! And F**K YOU for being so rude about how the word NYET sounds! Russophobic b***h!

She only wanted to pay $5? She needs to learn about Fiverr.

The only thing worse would have been for that woman to offer to pay her in thoughts and prayers.

What a nasty b***h! And the worst part is that Shea rearing a child, who will grow up believing it's OK to think like her and treat people like c**p. She was way too nice. I would have told her tongo EFF herself in French and Russian.

I need a Russian tutor, but he will have to pay me because I am French…

Nyet lol She did the right thing...me on the other hand .i would have made a trip to her house and cursed her out

I taught conversational English in Russia one summer. Students there mostly learned English or German but French was pretty common, too.

awe man, I was hoping there would be an add on letting us know what the boss/ ladies relative said after all this

This makes me wish i had another language - I could probably make myself understood and can read in very basic French and German but nothing more
