Apparently today is one of those general days off, not just for the school. I found this out when I realised I was really hungry and had no food, so I went out and everywhere was shut. This does however give me the excuse to go to get takeaway from the awesome Chinese restaurant here.
Tomorrow, I am going to ask a clever person at my school how they would go about teaching the class that I'm meant to 'teach'. I'm just going over exercises and stuff on t'internet, looking for stuff that will keep 5 different ability levels entertained whilst simultaneously improving their english, to not a lot of avail. I don't mind doing teachy things, and wouldn't really be too fussed about catering for different abilities, the only thing really is the subject matter.
Have you ever properly looked at english grammar? All the rules and irregularities and things? It is pretty damn boring. This has all made me realise that I'm not one of those people who studies languages while being all "oh man, look how cool all these grammar rules are! Aren't languages beautiful and awesome?". No. They are ok to learn but a bitch to teach.
