School Happenings

So at school this year the principal's focus is going to be on English. I was never asked about anything that's been going on. I was alittle upset about that especially since if it's wrong it makes me look bad not the school. My classroom is moving because I will use my old classroom to teach Korean games in English and tell Korean fairy tales in English. I think not sure what's going on. Then there will be an English experience room. No idea what that is either. They've put in these LCD TVs that scroll words in English and then sentences. I have not seen all the sentences but the first time I saw the screen the word was "of late". The sentence was" Don't be of late to school." This concerns me. Lol I was told last week I will do a broadcast for 10 minutes every Wednesday for the whole school. Hurray ? TV star once again. Lol I will also have special classes which I knew. But I won't necessarily teach what I want. I will be teaching science and social studies in English. I ixnayed the math bit cause lets face it I'm not great at explaining math.

Korean Lessons

I started taking Korean lessons a couple of weeks ago. I have been trying to learn off and on since I got here. My pronunciation of the words are good (so say my co-workers). I've got the food words I like down, so much in fact that I can order at restaurants that have no English in them at all. Anyway so my first class was fun. Classes take place in this cafe that is too adorable. It has little rooms that have different themes and there is art everywhere. In this class your expected to know how to read Korean. So I went in expecting the teacher to be all mean and serious, cause Jillian told me that's how he was, but he was friendly and warmed up to us. By the end of class he was teaching us pick up lines. He then called in one of the waiters and we practiced it on them. Last weeks class I was with another teacher named Kammy. She lived in America for 6 months working in a hospital. Her English is really good and she was a good teacher she broke down the Korean letters for me to make easier to learn. Then during our break she asked me if I heard of Toby Keith. I responded yes and after that it was a music exchange. I suggested songs off my I-Pod and she suggested songs off her mp3 and we listened to them writing down which one we liked. It was alot of fun. We're supposed to hang out together sometime because she is about my age. It will be like a language exchange I will practice my Korean and she can practice her English though her English is really good. This week I missed class because I was getting my TV fixed but excited to go back next week. I am already reading slowly but surely.
