I just finished teaching my very first English class! I had 12 students, all at a fairly high English speaking level - which is good because I am unable to help them in French. The class could be as large as 16 students but I am thankful that they did not all show up today.
I can already tell that I am really going to enjoy teaching English. Its fun having an interaction with locals because most of my ministry is with foreigners. I love it!
Class went pretty well - it is hard teaching English though! We went over health issues today - it was ridiculous! Two of the sentences I had to read were: "I've been feeling so tired lately, and I have to go to the bathroom a lot" and "My stomach has been hurting me terribly for the last 12 hours, I have been vomiting and I have awful diarrhea too. Do I have the flu?" I certainly heard some laughter... It was also interesting trying to describe words. I mean...how do you describe tingle? It was hard!
Overall though - I really enjoyed myself and am looking forward to teaching this year!
