role reversal

posted by Cai Jia @ 11:31am, Wednesday 10 February 2010.

I went to my Spanish Evening class last night in London and it was so much fun to be the one of the students again! I couldn't help noticing everything that we'd learnt as the lesson went on: ESA type activities, not speaking in English, and the teacher nominating students who spoke less. I was also slightly humbled as I had thought that I was Intermediate but now can quite easily assess myself as Elementary. My moment of glory came when I was put on the spot to tell the class what the Preterito Perfecto is, and I went on a bit about past actions that still have relevance in the present, score!


Realised also that I didn't get a chance to thank all the tutors at school and say bye - I thought you were all coming to the bar on the final night, but perhaps I missed you as I left at the stroke of midnight -not very Spanish! So thanks very very much to Lisa, Jane, Jamie, Luke and Alex for injecting so much personality into the lessons and making unriotous topics seem such a riot, hope to see you all when I soujourn in Barcelona again, (perhaps when I'm a lady of leisure).

Good luck with the class of February!
