She's spent a few years in China, so it's probable she already speaks Chinese.Username Taken wrote:Learning Khmer or Chinese?
Possibly why she got the gig.

It's pretty common practice for foreign service employees to do language training for a minimum of six months before a redeployment...

The British government has said it will be reassigning diplomatic staff as part of the brexit process to countries where they intend to strike fantastic trade deals. I doubt they are even really aware of the elections or their significance, far too busy trying to sort out the mess the referendum has caused. As for the embassy I think maybe its a bit unfair to blame the staff. they do what they can within the rules applied by a totally morally bankrupt and incompetent government. At leat 1 of the staff tries very hard to help, one is a complete jobsworth and the senior staff I have never been able to meet. This is an acrtual conversation I had a couple of years ago:Abc123 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:45 am A few things I noted about the appointment were:
She's seems to have been out of the foreign office service since 2016.
She is currently a language trainer ( teacher) Is that here? Not at BELTEI surely?
They have managed to place somebody with relatively little ambassadorial experience ( 2003 – 2006, Timor Leste ) right before the elections in July.
Seeing as both the US and EU (read UK) have pulled support from the elections, and will; therefore, deem them illegitimate, are the FO expecting there to be any kick-back, or is this all just a coincidence?
me How many brits are there in Cambodia?
them Not many
me how do you know if you don't keep a register?
them because we hardly ever see anybody
me have you consider that might be because you cannot actually do anything any more?

It says "training" not "trainer" -
2016 – present Full time language training
I think that means she was a student.
