3days sub-teacher

sometimes it's easier to talk to the strangers.
i would be able to smile more being kind.

i've been a sub-teacher for 3days at YBM. nothing's been difficult because i used to work there and the class i was in charge was so nice. there were 6 students, Erin/Karl/Pascal/Jessica/Trent/James. most were eager to learn korean and they helped each other get understood better which was very motivating.

last thursday, during break time they asked me to go down to grap coffee. i wasn't that hungry so said no for donuts. Trent asked me two times and said that he always had to ask korean people to get them something. i didn't mean that but was being a typical korean like those who say "oh no, it's ok! i'm not hungry! i don't need coffee!" something. but i had coffee and it was, automatically, on him, haha.

i taught them only for 3days. today after class they were going to have lunch together and i had nothing to do, so joined them. i met Phavel(not sure if it's correct spelling...never wrote his name.) by chance and took him together for lunch. the intersting thing is most foreigners easily get along and become friends very quickly. we have honorific terms in our language and are very conscious about age or position things, so it's quite hard to become a 'friend' when we first meet. it wouldn't be only in western culture. i remember that i was surprised by philipinos huge hospitality and friendliness when they encounter a total stranger.

they mostly spoke in english and tried in korean some part of their conversation but it wasn't that easy. I linstened to them and talked to them in korean then they try speaking korean once again. we may meet some time if they go on studying there. i was only sub for 3days and we hardly know each other, but it was very comfortable and i was able to adjust myself very well. i'm writing this kind of for thanking them for enjoying my class...i feel so.
