School is up and running. I'm teaching classes now. It's official.
I have a few students who have real potential as well as those who have no desire to be in class, which is no different than American public schools. I'm teaching four days a week with clubs on three of the days. We're still doing vocabulary before we move on to simple grammar. If anything, my style is shock to them because it's radically different than what they're used to. I'm trying to promote conversation as my main emphasis.
I also moved. I'm no longer with a host family, and I'm glad to have my American space/independence. I live about 5-10 walk from school in (mostly) my own house. It's really nice with a kitchen, my two connected bedrooms, and water actually coming into the compound -which saves me from a trip down the road to stream. I also have beehives which a neighbor tends for honey.
Pictures coming. So far there's one of me at my new house posted on mobileme.
