I am back to school

Finally, I am officially enrolled in a TESOL class.  Last week we had our orientation and I felt weird but at the same time excited.  Weird because after working for years now, I am attending classes and will soon start making homework.  The feeling of excitement is caused by the fact that I will be meeting new friends and learn new things.

With this new endeavor, as an adult learner, I don't want also to burden myself with the pressure.  Although, the learning process itself is really tedious but I will find a way to make it interesting.

Yesterday, I met my classmates and trainer for the first time.  I tried to be confident in front of them (I was actually a bit embarrassed with my sandals while others are wearing formal attire) .  The room was quiet and everyone was behaving properly.  The teacher spoke in French.  I don't know what he was talking about but I can feel that he is introducing himself because I can recognize the word Mandaue, Cebu and his name.

I was speechless when he pointed at me and said something, I thought he was asking me to introduce myself to the class but I was wrong.  After 10 minutes of speaking the same lines in front of the class we then found out that he wants us to follow what he was doing/saying.  We just have to repeat every word he said.  I felt stupid because I didn't get what he was trying to do at first because I was not observant, he gave us clues through hand gestures.  But I told myself I am a Filipino not French (lol).

It was an interesting thing to start the class and I can feel that it was a taste test of what to come.  I don't mind if it is difficult as long as I learn something new in a fun way.

Now, after writing this I will start doing my homework... :)

Good luck to me and to my new TESOL class.
