Now that´s out of the way...
So I´m so excited that I will be teaching English tomorrow! I`ll be teaching the Callen method, which is the British method of English. It consists of repeating a sentence or phrase twice and having the student reply while you talk over them so that they know the rhythm of how English is spoken. At first I was apprehensive about the method however, having the tables turned for Portugues, it is a great method. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!
All yesterday and the day before I had Feijoada (rice and beans), I love it. However, here in Aruja, they use a lighter brown shade of beans. I'm used to black beans but, tanto faz (which ever). Feijoada is the equivalent of spigetti, or macaronni, or rice. The staple meal of a home. I love the fruits here. I went to the supermarket called Takahashi (Japanese owned, Brazil, mainly Sao Paulo has the highest population of Japanese people in the world, second to Japan of course). Takahashi is like a New York martet, in regards to the meat. Everything is open. Literally. It is really nice.
Teaching
So I've been going to classes and meeting my new students. It's bad to say this but I've already have picked out favorites. Usually the ones that speak and make lasting impressions. Teaching is going to be fun. I start tomorrow. I'm excited.
Well, I must sign off. Ate logo (until next time).
Tchao!
