Well the experience has been fun except for the fact that am having so much fun,,,,,, The people are very welcoming, and friendly. There food is quite good if fish is your thing. Not that I have so many options due to my fear of eating the wrong kind of food. And I discovered I have become a very rusty cook since I got married, I managed to cook rice for 2 hours, yes 2 hours Sam witnessed this, so painful, I just couldn't get the right balance. Enough about me and about the experience.
Class is amazing, i ended up in the biggest school, which meant alot of students with diverse experiences, challenges, looks and common name Carlos, Sakhio and Adrian. So I came up with an amazing 15 minute challenge to know the learners by name and their interests first time I met them, worked brilliantly. Now because I have numerous classes and learners this meant by the time I met them again well so many names you know the rest... but I always have my Carlos and Sakhio to fall back on.
The teachers have been very helpful, open to pass on their classes to this clueless guy but seeing me teach, managed to convince them that maybe I "knew what I was talking about" even i was surprised am like you carry on like this you might get away with murder. Smile, nod your head, affirm you know, seriously its been alot easier and fun at the same time.
The learners here are so well behaved, listen to instructions and all take part in activities, brilliant attitude with a crazy sense of humour.
I have been doing some conversation lessons with the teachers who have again some next crazy level humour and banter, that has gone really well as they get to speak English non stop for an hour. Some teachers have very good Englisg levels already and have embeded this in their classes.
Well weetabix( I dont like cherios)
Later
