mind your language

Received a phone call from an ex-colleague offering a job and perhaps, better salary and benefits.
What impressed me most was that his English is better now, I remember I used to correct his grammar at work, in emails, correcting his English whenever I get the chance (mind you he was a manager back then and I was a lowly executive, we were not even in the same department!). 
 
I praised his flawless English and he simply replied, "sebab awak-lah". Happy to know that I am indeed, doing something good to people without realising it.
 
Perhaps I should start charging for ad-hoc English lessons?
