Atten-hut!
This week, instead of 450 middle school students at English Village, we have 450 soldiers from all branches of the Korean military from a variety of ranks. I had my first day with them today and really enjoyed them. Many of our classes will be only slightly modified versions of those we teach our regular students, but we’re also helping them prepare a group presentation in English and teaching them job interview skills.
After my first day, I’m really looking forward to the rest of the week. They’re excited, easy to work with, and of course easier to talk to. The soldiers also really care to improve their English, whereas some of the middle school students can be SO resistant. It will be a nice week.
Then, Thailand on Saturday!
