- Thirteen. - Thirteen?

Basically you never know when you will need English.

My name is Francois Lamontagne, known as Teacher Franky.

I'm from Canada.

I teach computer in English at Maesai Prasitsart.

This school is which several of the Thai cave boys attend.

When I saw the video, the British divers did speak English.

And there was an answer from the kids.

I thought this is great, this is extraordinary.

Thank you, thank you.

How many of you?

Thirteen. Thirteen?

Brilliant!

I was proud.

I was really proud of these kids that they could actually answer something in English.

So that's why I came up with the idea of doing that sign.

He put it up to the school to encourage students to learn English.

It got attention online.

The situation with the cave at Tham Luang created an opportunity for the kids to realize that

"God! it is great if you can say a few words in English, you know?"

Basically you never know when you will need English.

English is universal, you know?

All these kids, they have to learn about English at one point,

If they want to improve their career in the future.

You know, we're in a remote area of Thailand.

We're not in Bangkok.

It's an awareness, it's to open their mind that there's something else in the world than Thailand.

Hello, my name is Jack.

My name is Pao.

My name is Putter.

What do you want to do when you grow up?

Maybe a programmer.

Guide, English guide.

Go to travel.

New York.

My goal as a teacher.

If only one student really improves and gets a good job in the future.

I would have done my job.

Let's do that again.

I am very happy about the rescue of some boys from the cave.

I'm actually working on another sign for welcoming the kids.

They're back in the sun.

They're back in the light, from the darkness to the light.

It's sort of the concept that I want to work on for the next sign.
