I will be in Korea three weeks this coming Tuesday. I am enjoying teaching English. I have two classes in one university and a special student in another. I think I am relearning English by teaching it as a second language.
There are few students and fewer people who speak English fluently. My MP3 player is not working well as I cannot figure out how to recharge it. There are two professors here in my department who speak English fluently. One is from Australia and the other is from Michigan. I don't see them very often. My best friend has become my journal and I have been writing in it more than I did before. One of the problems is I can't seem to buy one. I bought three with me, but I gave one away and filled one up already. I was at a Korean book store and there were these very small journals, but not the kind that I am used to. Almost everything one would buy here is made in Korea. There are some English bookstores in Seoul and I will try them when I get paid. If not, I will be using notebooks.
My Sony Reader is one of the best things I got when I came to Korea. There are lots of books to read in it. I also found a room of English books in one of the universities and I have already checked out two books. Many of the fiction books are books that are available on the Google Books as they are public domain but there is a full set of Harry Potter books along with some young adult books popular such as the Twilight books.
Everyday, I am writing in my journal and describing what I am going through. At least I can speak in English there.
