Breakfast in the kitchen with everyone. We had a weird noodly dish with sweet coconut milk which was very nice. I have been asking the names of dishes but I'm terrible at remembering them! SO Raquell (hope I've spelt your name right!)if you're reading this and could help me out on the name that would be fab!
Celine has asked us to start going to the day care for half an hour or so each day to teach English.Planning on just introducing ourselves today and perhaps going through the alphabet?
We went to Alfonz's lesson armed with our instruments which we had promised to take. Guys were obviously much more impressed by the big, manly, shiny sax! Mady also managed to ask 'Why do most Indian men have moustaches?!' This resulted in us being asked whether we liked men with moustaches! To which we mumbled ourselves out of an answer and were then told that the reason for the huge number of moustaches was because apparently Indian women prefer men with moustaches which Roja confirmed!
Next to the day care! Was rather awkward at first as some of the younger ones were quite shy, whilst Mariya and Ashish.k who already know us from their classes were buzzing! However pretty soon they got used to us and chaos ensued! So much for 30 minutes!We only managed to get away about an hour and half later and were ready for our lunch!
We were quite suprised by the varying abilities of English. On little boy knew none what so ever, another knew a few words and the alphabet, whilst a slightly older girl knew rather a lot! This made it very hard to actually 'teach' any English. But we drew out some letters of the alphabet and went through some nursery rhymes on a poster on the wall as the young girl Jess acted teacher!
We managed to make a plan for the children's lessons in the afternoon which we were pretty proud of, with the help of my star mother!
The lessons went really well, and were a lot less stressful!
Lana left this evening back to Mumbai.
