Manos a la Obra

So, I finally got a job.

It's at a Korean school in Talamban. The hours are a little more intense than I'm used to - five hours a day Monday-Friday, which isn't bad at all, but the school requires I show up at 8AM every day even though my first class isn't until 11.

My one class, repeated five times, is Speaking - always the weak point of the Asian English-language student. Reading, writing, and grammar are fine, but when it comes to expressing their ideas in English it's usually a struggle.

My classes are quite small - only one to three students - but the students are nice enough. Most of them are planning to go to the US, Canada or Australia at the end of the summer, so that's motivation enough for them.

Also, lunch is included - Korean food of course, which isn't my favorite, but it tastes alot better because it's free.
