It rained all day.
Morning classes weren’t any work, which was nice, but also I didn’t feel like I did much. And (for shame) I even started yawning. But I like the teachers and kids at this school.
In the evening I had the dreaded class. I don’t know what to do to get this kid to respect me, for he obviously doesn’t in the slightest, in fact I believe he insults me (I’m 95% sure), and how he talks the whole time is distracting for the other students.
After that was the class of one student. Always good.
Following was my private class with Miki. I like these classes because they’re easy and entertaining. I do some prep beforehand but mostly because I want to, it only takes a few conversation topics to keep us going. It goes late though.
Today we talked about food. Kyuushoku = school lunch, and Miki says they are oishii (yummy). I forgot to tell her of school food reputations in the U.S. She told me every time she goes to New York, she eats fried corn (on the cob, with cheese and chili powder).
Newish words:
shachi = orca
suki kirai (ga ooi) = likes/dislikes = picky
kyuushoku = school lunch
myouji = surname
jougi = ruler (measurement)
jambo = hello (in Swahili)
hyvaa pyvaa = hello (in Finnish) alt. ‘hei’
zdravstvuj = hello (in Russian)
nasu = eggplant
Here is a picture of bitter chocolate. This one is actually kind of bitter. But still good.
You are really doing well. I imagine the other teachers may have some advice about mr. troublemaker!
ReplyDeleteRain makes me yawn, too. : )
Fortunately, it's beautiful here, and I'm off to Vegas where it'll be close to 90°. Look out pool, here I come!
