About Great_Oaks_Students...

Hi! I'm Lynnette. I'm an American who has been living in Taiwan 🇹🇼 for many years. I'm the owner / teacher at a language school called Great Oaks. “Great oaks from little acorns grow.” I have about 180 students who will be taking turns writing cards. My students range in age from elementary school first graders to college students. They are a wonderful group of students! With this activity, I hope they can learn about places outside of our beautiful, little island. It's a big world!

Hurray! We've received over 5000 cards from nice people in interesting places. My students can choose cards they like to take home. Below are some things which we like. Not demands…just interests…Each card is a little 🎁!

PLEASE..... 🚫no buildings...unless very famous...🚫and no touristy multi view....the kids are not so interested in those cards 😞 Sorry.

✏️Please write to us in English...even if you can write in Chinese!

✏️Please don’t use cursive writing...the kids can’t read it.

✏️ You can write a language learning tip if you’d like.

😍If you’d attach a coin, the kids would love it.

❤️ Our favorites ❤️ —some received, some not. Duplicate cards are okay! Our collection is shared by many students.
