This class is in the computer lab. The kids were still coming in.
Me: Who is coming?
Kids: (speaking Korean)
Me: In English!
Kids: Is, Sanghoon, is, yongoh, not come! (yongoh = English class)
Kids: (Arguing in Korean)
Me: He's not coming now? Or he is coming? Say "He is coming"
Kids: He is coming!
Me: We will wait for him then. Sit down please.
Introducing the topic to the class. It's a lot of repeating and gestures and they still only got the idea of a computer game in English.
Panning around the room while they are playing the game. It's called "Bookworm Adventures" It's a really cute game, and the kids love it. You spell words to fight against monsters. Longer words do more damage. You go up in level and get special treasures and abilities.
I'm trying to teach the kids to memorize a few phrases in English to use in the classroom. They usually say "Teacha! Teacha! Hep!". She's saying "Teacha, can, I, can you, can, can you hep me pleez? This what?"
Girl: Lex, is crazy?
Me: What do you say?
Girl: Can you help me, please?
Me; Yes. OK, now what is it?
Girl: Lex, light, what?
Me: Likes what? You mean, oh oh oh! OK.
Girl: What Lex, light?
Me: Can you see this?
Girl: Yes
Me: That means, he is getting burned.
Girl: Bund?
Me: Fire. Yea, like "fire is burning"?
Girl: ok, OK!
