so... as you can see there are many little signs up around my super neat blog that say photobucket bandwidth exceeded... after doing some research i have discovered that i need to work through each of my codes OR wait till it fixes itself... which it will do but i'm not sure when... i'm not even sure how to fix my codes but if you'll patiently wait... it'll get fixed! please dont stop reading my blog... and continue to comment my boring blogs! ^_^... hopefully i'll get it fixed soon!!!!
edit:
of course now you dont see what the above message was referring to... but i've fixed up my blog the best i could... i'm not too computer savvy but with the help of google... i've got this up and running the way i kinda hope i want it... i'll have to work more with it... cause i need to add my links and a few other things on this... but for now.. i'm tired and this will do!!
Korean... English class?
In my last post, I mentioned I would be beginning to teach two new classes... an English World and a Faces classes... you of course dont know what i'm referring to...but this means they are all new beginners... what i wasn't prepared for was going in and talking to walls... even with the knowledge they didnt know anything... good thing i've been working on my Korean and knew the basics... hello.... how are you... my name is gabi teacher... i'm sorry... i dont know much korean... blahblahblah...(yes that too... haha)
my first class to work with was my faces class on tuesday... i am the 2nd teacher so my co-teacher got to name them... yay! haha! but when i attempted to ask what their name was... wow... haha! but all went well as I attempted to explain with huge motions how to draw a line and write a word... which silly me... i forgot they dont know how to write in ENGLISH... they only know 한국말 (Korean)... so many kinda refused to attempt to imitate my weird strange letters... which i dont blame them... try writing butterfly or ladybug in Korean... :)
my english world class... well i was the first teacher and thank goodness there were only 4 students to name! haha i have 2 boys and 2 girls and i chose names before going in... i gave the boys a choice to choose between the 2 names and the girls the same... so now i have Skylar, Joseph, Lily, and Rose... hehe! but that was even a struggle... haha! thank goodness we were learning how to say good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight... with a song... oh yeah and goodbye... so i could help them figure it out sorta! haha with pictures and huge motions and the bit of Korean i know! haha!
next month... I am going to take Korean classes and in the meantime i am going to do solo studying and work on getting classroom language down... my new student asked to go to the bathroom and i didnt know wth he was asking... poor thing... haha i finally asked someone out of the room and they told me... haha!
overall i think these new classes will be a nice challenge! :)
and hopefully next month will come soon! haha! i heard i'll have to take a test to see my level... i know a pretty good amount of korean but i am definitely going to be in the beginners class... haha!
well i better run and do something productive with my last break and a half...
^_^.
안녕
September 1st
It's officially September 1st and a month full of possibilities! Today is the start of the new semester here at school and I've taken on 2 new classes. My load is still the same so nothing really new changed... I have 8 classes Monday, Wedneday, Fridays and 7 on Tuesday and Thursdays. I've picked up 2 new classes called Faces and English World and those are for ultimate newbies... isn't that exciting? reminds me of my time in China where my kids didn't know anything at all. This will hopefully be an exciting adventure and will allow me to see how I am actually helping korea!
This month, also, will be my birthday month! woohoo! I'm still excited that I'm turning the big 2-1 even if in Korea you only have to be 18 to drink! haha! also i think i've mentioned this before but i'm 22 according to Korea's rules for births... haha! i still have 21 days until then but I'm hoping to do something fun... ^^
If you are in Korea and possibly want to meet up... just message me! my email is on my profile if you just want to click on the picture on the right it will take you there! we can meet up and have lunch or something! i'm always up to making new friends! Also, if you want to be a language exchange partner... I would love that too! i'm always trying to learn Korean more and more! ^^ My plan is to stay in Korea for a while... and just see what opens up!
I'm really hoping to get to visit a lot of the areas around me and hopefully remember my camera! last weekend I tagged along with my friend to Insadong and I forgot my camera! :( ... we even rode a bus back home! haha!
well i'm going to go work on Korean cause my next class at 3:45 is my newbies... maybe they'll appreciate if I try to communicate with them!?... somehow... lol!
^_^.
