iNtErNatIOnAl sChOoL??

3 weeks in school has just past! Counting down to 7 more weeks! Hahaha!

Been rather interesting till now- just this new term, we have few new students who came and join us.
We have a boy from Taiwan, a boy from Philippines, a boy from Korea and a boy from Balangesh!

Communicating in Chinese with the Taiwan boy is not that difficult. One occasion:
Cher Yanni in English: Child T, sit properly!
Child T in Chinese: What is that?
Cher Yanni in Chinese: That’s mean to sit properly!
Child T in Chinese: Sit properly is what dong dong ar?

But to communicate with the pure Korea boy is super challenging. He has no foundation in English, can only speak and listen to very very basic English. His first day of school, I greeted him in Korean (the only thing I know how to say in Korean), he turned to another teacher and pointed at me and said, “Korean teacher?”. Haha! The child’s very common sign when he don’t understand what we say is to put his finger near his ear and gave us a “huh” look! =)

PAP- not only a multi racial school but also a multi country school. Haha!
Malay! Tamil! Singlish! Broken English! La-Lei-Lo Engish & La-Lei-Lo Chinese… all must know a little!
