Mr. John's teaching started today. I was not lecturing so he invited me along to attend his class. We were met by an escort from the International Office and taken to the School of Foreign Languages at the University. They were excited to meet John.
The class was a small one of approximately 15 first year students. They were very shy and quiet. The teacher asked him to introduce and tell alittle about himself to start. He was a natural...
It wasn't long and they were asking him many questions. "What are your hobbies"? "What do American's think of Russians"? "Do you miss your home"?, etc. etc.
He stumbled only once when they asked him if he liked " Eminem" (lol)?
He said he preferred country music which seemed to throw them.
There were several questions on Halloween and how we celebrate. He punted that one to me, telling them how much I enjoy the holiday.
One girl commented that she had once before had an American tutor and that he had sat on the desk just like Mr. John, they all thought that this was so interesting. The Russian teacher said she would NEVER sit on a desk...
He teaches 4 more classes this week.
