Burning some of that midnight oil

Apr 29, 2009 02:56

Now that I'm prepared, I'm looking forward to the trial (non-accessable!) teaching demos on Thursday. I'm teaching my mother's dialect of Chinese. Yes, I'm teaching a language that I don't speak. I got a crash course at about 9pm tonight. *blinky* You know how they say that learning from a native speaker is the best? Sometimes it really isn't because Mum has no clue about how to correct me or aid me in this whole pronouncing thing. >.< Well, I've been exposed to (bits!) of the language pretty much from birth and I can say rude things like 'fart' and 'bottom'. That has to count for something, right?

Ok, the tired, babbling girl is off to bed. I'll tell you how it goes after Friday when my (assessable and not finished) Asian Studies essay is due. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank goodness I'm not driving tomorrow. *yawns*
