“Fine print.”
Fine is another word for “small” or “hard to see.”
Example: “There’s a fine line between comedy and tragedy.”
In English, you might hear someone warn you to ….
Read The Fine Print Before You Sign
I discovered the wisdom of this advice last week.
After I had my ski accident, then my leg surgery and then after I spent a week in the hospital…
I was presented with the bill.
Yes, your brave teacher is a responsible adult.
He bought health insurance.
But suddenly he realized he had NOT read the fine print.
You see, the big print says “health insurance for Europe.”
What does the small print say?
Health insurance “for Schengen only.”
(Schengen is an economic zone within Europe; several countries are in the EU but not in Schengen)
And guess where Bulgaria is?
That’s right: In the EU… but not in Schengen!
Which means now I have to pay…
The Hospital Bill From Hell
Here’s the plan.
I don’t usually have sales.
I don’t like sales.
Many teachers have a sale on Monday, a sale on Tuesday, a sale on…
I almost never have them.
But sometimes, as Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates with fine print.
What Will You Get?
Back in 2020, I was focused on creating simple guides to fix my students’ biggest English headaches.
They were quite popular — one was downloaded over 100,000 times!
Then I started to focus on video courses and forgot about them.
None are available on Amazon.
Only one you can get in my store.
And it costs €25.
So because of this special situation, I decided to bring them all back.
And to cut the price a lot.
Go here to have a look: https://store.mrvig.com/hospital-bill-sale
And hurry — the guides go back inside my laptop Sunday at midnight.
And they may not be available again until next ski season…
Hi mister Vig, one question: what is the real cost? 25€ or 29€? I see two different price, in email 25€ and in a link 29€.
Thanks
Barbara
Hi Barbara, I usually sell guides for €25 (€24.95). If you want to buy Master English at Home, that’s the price in my store. But the sale price for all five guides is €29. So to answer your question, the “real cost” is €29.
very intersting
I received 5 wonderful guides + 5 audiobooks for learning English quickly! All this for only €49! I highly recommend this contribution and hope it helps Mr. Vig.
Super!
I bought these 5 excellent booklets with the author’s speech twice. The first time, abot a year ago, to help me, the second time, yesterday, to help Mr.Vig. Very good job, deal, and business indeed. And the frendship, Ryan.
Wow. Thank you, Imrich.
Thank you for your special guides, I followed your advise and download them.
Great!
Hi!
sorry for giving unrequested advise, but I do enjoy your posts and I would very much like to contribute somehow.
If you want to have a successful sale session, maybe you should also consider the option of selling the books one by one, with a price a little higher, let’s say 6 – 7.5€ / each – it would be much easier to get people to pay such an amount than 3 or 4 times more, even if they would be really interested.
All the best wishes!
Interesting suggestion….
