Hello all!
Well today is Wednesday. I am into my second day of teaching. It has been a rollercoaster that is for sure! The first class, once i got over my nervousness was awesome. You really get a high from teaching! They speak pretty decent english, they just cant understand me because i am not chinese and have a totally different accent. I have to keep repeating myself and the directions alot. They are very enthusiastic about learning english though. There are some kids however that just sit there, just like in America. They are interested in learning about me and America as well. They giggle alot and repeat everything that i write on the board in perfect harmony, its hilarious. They have been trained as a group for sure! The second class was more wild and didnt understand half of what i was saying im afraid, half of the class is me explaining myself! I will have to recondition my vocabulary into simplier terms ive decided. lol i never thought i spoke to challenging!!
We finally got our washing machine working and our hotplates (which is what we have for a stove) after we had our FAO over to explain them. Everything is in Chinese!! There is no dryer, noone has one. THey use too much electricity I guess. So we have a closeline in our hallway and since its so hot, it doesnt take long to dry our clothes. We havent had internet for over two days so thats why ive been a little slow on the pictures and updates.
Take care everyone!!
