My first day

It was the start of term the next day, so I headed to the school to meet the other teachers and observe classes for the day. There are 8 other foreign teachers (mostly from the US and Canada, I'm the only Brit) and a number of Korean teachers.
I moved into my apartment that evening. Its just a studio flat, but its nice enough and the whole ‘foreign-ness’ may make me forget its titchiness for the time being. Instead of having locks on your front door, here you have a keypad and you have to enter your PIN to get in. I’m fairly sure I will forget mine at some point!

In the mornings, I will be teaching pre-schoolers. They are 6-7 year olds who speak very little English, although its amazing how quickly they will pick up the language as all their classes are conducted in English (even the Korean teachers only speak English to them). On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I finish teaching after pre-school has finished and for the rest of the week, I will be teaching older students in the afternoons ranging from complete beginners up to more advanced students.
