The 1st Time

apparently teaching wasn't that scary, actually it's pretty interesting. of course i was a bit nervous waiting for 7 to come. there's no white board, only ohp and computer so i thought since it's a conversational class i'd only use transparancy once - when i introduced myself. i was still nervous when people started to come waiting for class to start. but somehow i collected myself and start making a round handing over forms and the handout. i always slipped my tongue when i talked in whatever language so i tried to control my speed of talking. it was pretty fun especially when break came but refreshment weren't prepared. we had several q&as session, with the guy who's stationed asking most of the questions. somehow they thought 'cewek', 'gue' is a formal word - thanks to those indonesian people who were being questioned upon arrival. i somehow had to translate few slang as well depends one the what they asked though i still don't know what bombom is (anyone?). this was actually a mistake - the q&as as suddenly someone commented that the guy should go for the intermediate class instead. he was apparently at lost that i cut it and told the guy to list whatever he wanted to know that is not in the lesson and give it to me. it was fun and i think i'm kinda looking forward to the next class, though i have to be more prepared; especially in explaining the grammar in english (what is kata sambung in english ya?) and organised. and of course i'll dress more normal, considering how few of them looked at my dressing last night. hey, i'm off to DnD straight after teaching!
