Friday was the last regular day I had at the language school. My summer class at the community college conflicted with this class, so I couldn’t continue teaching it on a regular basis. However, I will be back from time to time filling in for one teacher or another.
Here I am going over an exercise in using the present perfect. This term is so misleading because it often refers to the past, especially in a general way. Can you use the present perfect? Have you ever learned it in school? Take the quiz.
Here are my students, left to right: Miwa (Japan), Jonas (Switzerland), Arthur (France), Christof (Switzerland), Lou (Japan), Fabianna (Italy), and Julius (South Korea).
Julius took this picture of me with the class and photographed me diagramming sentences a few posts ago.
I wrote my message to the class here. I’ll miss them for sure. I’ve had two groups since I’ve been teaching at the school this month, and this one was a lot of fun. As you can see in the upper right corner of this photo and the first one, I drew flags for the countries each student came from. I drew two for myself: American to represent my citizenship and Japanese for my heritage.
Until next time. I’m sure I’ll see them in passing the next time I’m at the language school and I’ll say hello.
