當要講teacher，老師和先生用法/講法幾乎一樣，但老師較正式和常見。而當面稱呼teacher時，會用老師。另外，只有口講會用先生表示teacher，書寫時不會。
老師 and 先生are almost the same when you need to say 'teacher', but 老師will be more formal. Otherwise, when calling teacher face to face, we only say老師. Moreover, we can use 先生 to express 'teacher' only when speaking, 老師will be better when writing.

多是teacher不在場，而閒聊時提及到他，就會用到先生。
例如媽媽在家問兒子：今日有無聽先生話啊？
但現在越來越少人用先生了~

是的~叫teacher時女性也可以先生稱之，因為此時先生沒有了男士之意，而是只等於teacher的意思~
