There is a moth so large in our house right now, I was afraid it was a bat. And now it's attacking our living room light, somewhat successfully.
As far as English teaching goes, things are going insanely quickly. The combination of a motivated Diamentino and a Primary School Director who's more than happy to have English education happening at his school a full year earlier than it's supposed to happen, is a good one.
Next year, the curriculum will begin to have 6th graders start learning English. Right now, they start in 8th grade. And brownie points are always good when it comes to getting more funding. Granted, we're doing this outside the typical school setting, but we're essentially teaching free classes.
Assuming my director approves.
We'll be giving two different classes, a beginner and an advanced, 3 times per week. The Primary School Director has arranged two rooms and obtained a list of 80 students (of all ages) who are not currently in school and are interested. Everyone involved is utterly amazed at how swiftly things are moving.
In other news, I've got a couple groups of neighborhood boys who come over pretty often. One likes to play cards and other pretty stationary games. The other is the Ultimate Frisbee group who come over to borrow Frisbee cones, Frisbees, me(!), etc. I'm learning Changana (mainly bad words) at a pretty good rate. I can now fully describe the groin area of a man AND a woman.
Yes, boys are all the same.
Peace
John
