How are u doing bro?

I’m ok, thanks for asking! What about you?

Damn, what a boss move. From being a substitute teacher to becoming incredibly rich with connections to politicians and royalty.

That’s so cool! So you can read the Cyrillic alphabet as well then, right? The other day I was in the train and this couple sat next to me. I wasn’t entirely sure what language they were speaking, but it seemed to be Eastern European. After googling, I discovered they were most likely speaking Romanian. Which makes sense because to me it sounded like a mixture of Italian and Russian, as an outsider. And I discovered Romanian is considered a Romance language, just like Italian. Personally, I consider to be fluent in a language if I can express myself in any way I want to and use a more sophisticated speech if I wish to. I can only do that with English and Dutch, but I wouldn’t be able to do that with Urdu. I can strike up a conversation with anyone, but I wouldn’t be able to use sophisticated speech, so I only consider it to be at a conversational level. I also understand Punjabi, but I cannot speak it. Some sounds are impossible to replicate as a non-native Punjabi speaker. I feel like that’s similar to Hungarian, where non-natives cannot pronounce certain sounds.

I wish to learn an Asian language one day. Because it seems like all the European languages are most influential but you still have mandarin a language with 1.4 billion speakers. I’d love to learn it one day. Also yea I understand Russian probably best (or same with English) it’s my native language. Cyrillic languages are pretty cool. Romanian is technically a native language for me too. But I just haven’t been speaking it much lately. It’s pretty pointless out side of Romanian and Moldova. Dang but speaking Asian language is pretty cool. Well I guess by your definition I’m some half fluent in Spanish

Almost as if he was an agent with the entire goal of obtaining blackmail material on people with a lot of power.

I can read a bit of Japanese, but Mandarin seems impossible. In Japanese, they use three different scripts, one of which is the Mandarin alphabet (which they call kanji). I am always admiring those non-Chinese people who are fluent in Mandarin. What was your motivation to learn Spanish? For me, the motivation to learn Japanese was so that I could watch non-subtitled horror movies.

Didn't die.

They killed hillary clinton's brother and put his body in place of his.

Search it up, hillary clinton's brother looks very similar to Epstein especially when he was older and near 'death' and also he mysteriously died in august of the same year with no cause.

He's still alive somewhere, back in Israel, succeeded in his goals of carrying out the plans and obtained the blackmail material.

I enjoy learning I guess. I believe knowing more languages can only benefit you. Speaking multiple languages mean you understand in multiple languages (if you get what I mean) plus I live in the USA and in school they teach Spanish (which is what made want to learn it even more after getting a Spanish class) and there are a lot of Spanish speaker here

Yeah, teachers have the most days off. But teachers have a lot of work to do.

Lesson planning takes a lot of time, it’s time-consuming. You have to create units (basically, a plan for the entire schedule). You also have to make a lot of decisions everyday. According to a study, teachers make thousands of decisions a day or something?

Iirc, you also have parent-teacher conferences, PD (professional development), dealing with admin.

There is also classroom management, making sure your class runs smoothly. Correcting students’ behavior is part of classroom management and probably the one thing I’ll struggle with most, along with lesson planning.

So, it’s not easy being a teacher, there’s a lot of work that comes along with it that nobody really mentions.

Thank you bhaijaan.

I went in unprepared. I did prep in the form of creating a PowerPoint. But that’s as far as lesson planning went. It was a conscious decision on my part; if I do this at my worst, then I can only get better from here.

I taught two classes and this was my third time with them. Personally, I think I did horrible. The students and mentor teacher were a lot more positive, saying I did a good job. They even started applauding at the end. Bless them, they’re too kind.

In both classes, at the end I would have a set of students come up to me and tell me nice things. Either about me as a teacher or saying they liked my PowerPoint design. These four students didn’t interact with me before nor did I interact with them, so while it was unexpected, it was also very nice.

Yea i agree, its a very meaningful job

Makes sense, so you’re actually exposed to Spanish. That isn’t the case here in the Netherlands, but at a local university, they did offer it as an elective. And yes, I know what you mean. Due to knowing Dutch, I also know a decent bit of German as well. And due to knowing English, I know a decent bit of French as well. Although I don’t like French.

But I will say I wish I would’ve put my effort from learning Spanish into learning French. It’s so much cooler to know French then Spanish

Thank you for believing in me! And yeah, so I think it’s probably necessary to have such a long break, because then you can also recharge for the entire upcoming year.

French is more useful if you’re in Europe or Canada, Spanish is more useful if you’re in the US. Were you born and raised there or did you just move there?

Moved to the US at a young age. Well honestly Spanish isn’t that useful in the US. I think in some neighborhoods or cities it can help, but everyone knows English here, there are people who don’t know english. But it’s mostly in those cities with a lot of Spanish speakers. French is actually spoken in America too, in Louisiana there are lots of people who speak French.

Yes of course haven’t been there in a while. Still a child so can’t go by myself. Even if I was an adult I wouldn’t wanna go by myself. Really cool country, really want to visit. Another country I want to visit it Mongolia and china (specifically the rural areas of china)

I definitely want to visit China someday as well. Never considered Russia before, especially with the country’s tensions with The Netherlands following that airplane incident. Luckily, I live in mainland Europe, so I could always visit Russia if I wanted to. I, however, don’t think it’s a good idea with the current Russian/Ukrainian war.

Thanks, Quncho! How long did it take for you to feel completely comfortable? I realize I feel this sort of internal pressure to rush through it all. I need to be grounded and take my time. I’ve been dealing with that internal pressure for a long time now. I should get rid of it, no? I think it’s my overthinking.

honestly that sounds like it went way better than you’re giving yourself credit for walking into a class without overprepping is scary as hell and the fact the students applauded and came up to you after says everything if they noticed your effort and even the powerpoint it means they were actually paying attention and engaged we’re usually way harsher on ourselves than anyone else is sounds like you did a great job and got a really solid first experience out of it
by the way what subject do you teach

Thank you for the nice words, I appreciate it. Maybe I am indeed too harsh to myself. Even when giving presentations in university, I tell my classmates that I think I did a bad job and they tell me that it was completely fine. I just brush it off as them being nice. I teach English to high school students! Classroom management is definitely my weakest point, but I was indeed surprised by how much attention they were paying, even the teacher complimented them for behaving. I believe it’s because of the novelty of having a different teacher in the room. I still have more lessons to teach, but they’re just parts of a lesson. I just went over the articles with them. I have to teach one full lesson as well, but that will be in early May.

Probably a month or so before it felt normal. Getting a new job is just like going to a new school as a child.

Yeah. Pressure isn't good, life is best when it's relieving.
