ordinary day

today, similar to yesterday... i had a successful (i would say) time teaching. i'm realizing how hard it is to teach people english, who have very little skill of the language... it's not like it was when i was learning french because i can't speak their language to relate between english and khmer. but i've figured out some things that they like, that i can decently explain and get them to do.
yesterday we went through synonyms and just different words... when i teach them, i try to think of things that they try to say to me but can't because they don't know the english words... for a while, i was writing common words down and getting them to draw it for understanding...
today, i did sentences like:
"my name is _____"
"i am _____ years old"
"i live in _____"
"my favourite colour is _____"
and stuff like that... just one child isn't able to do what i teach because he hasn't yet learned how to recognize each letter of the alphabet. inbetween, i'll get him to go over letters, say it with me and then go from there... sometimes its harder than others because he's very young and speaks the least english, i would say, out of the kids... but he's sooooo cute :)
i kinda cheat, cause whatever i teach at COFCO, i bring over to Imagine Orphanage later on.. but it kind of seems like the imagine kids know very little english.. i haven't spent much time there yet so i could be wrong, but that's what i've gotten thus far.

regarding the flooding... it's mostly dried up already! i don't know where it all goes or how it disappears so fast, but it does. i guess it's good for them.

i miss everyone at home<333
