One of the differentiating aspects of our program from other English programs is the immersion component. The students are placed in a situation where they are “doing daily life” with English speakers. Cooking, cleaning, eating and sharing a bathroom take on a whole new perspective when you need to speak in a different language. The students have made the adjustment well and are enjoying interacting with us.
Today we were reviewing articles of clothing and colors. In order to make it more fun, Stacy had the students put on a fashion show. The most comical moment was when Robson (pronounced Hobson) entered wearing a skirt and a wig. He announced that he was from Scotland and that was why he was wearing a skirt. I’m sure that you will find the picture amusing.
For the team from the US it is hard to comprehend that it is winter here. The weather has been beautiful and warm. During the day it is in the mid 70s and at night in the 40s. There are flowers everywhere and the corn in the fields is knee high. One of our daily routines is to shut all of the windows at 5:00 to keep the mosquitoes out. The only resemblance to our winter is the fact that it gets dark between 5:30 and 6:00.
Except for a few minor allergy issues all of us are doing well and enjoying our time here. Please keep all of us in your prayers.
Blessings,
Ann
