Hopefully my brand new students won't decide to connect with me on Facebook in the near future and have revelation as to how I approached today's lesson, running quite late and then purposefully deciding not to speed with my bicycle in order to remain alive. Well, I did get there safe & sound, apart from the exhaust toxics I inhaled on the over-jammed streets of Budapest.
May it suffice to say that I didn't quite prepare, although there hasn't been a serious need either, as we are just re-starting and revising materials they had perused previously and now in serious need of gaining the once acquired knowledge back. So, I was sitting with these 3 girls and the realisation dawned on me that I love teaching so very much! Yes, it energises me and new sources of energies thrust forth every time I open my mouth and guide pronunciation, help them recognise logical patterns and twists of conjugations to keep in mind. This simply is my very nature: excelling at something, at the same time helping them access it and apply hopefully to other areas as well, a so called discipleship programme, if you would.
All this in Italian. I am lovin' it!
