We are in Phnom Penh, Cambodia this month and we have been
teaching English to students. The first time slot has two classes: 4-11 year
olds and 8-14 year olds. The next class is conversational one-on-one classes
and they are for the more advanced English speakers. And then the last slot has
two classes: 13-18 year olds and 16-30 year olds. I help out in the 4-11 year
olds and the 16-30 year old classes.
It has been so much fun, but extremely tiring. We taught the
children how to write the whole alphabet and for the older ones in the class
that already knew how to write all the letters, we wrote conversations in their
notebooks, that way the other students would not get distracted.
Then in the conversation/one-on-one class, we would ask them
questions and they would ask us questions and we would get to know each other
better. It was SUCH a great time and we actually got a lot of questions about Christianity
and Jesus, which was so legit! The people here in Cambodia are SO HUNGRY to
know more about Jesus!! 🙂
Then the last class is mainly college students, so we choose
different people and act out different scenarios and they have to speak English
to make the skit/scenario flow. It was actually really good! Then we would ask
them questions or we would have a conversations with each on in the front of
the class so they could get better at speaking in public.
Then on Saturdays we would have a ‘kids club’ sorta thing
and it was so much fun! I taught the children Bible stories and also played
games with them! Oh it was SO MUCH FUN!!!
Then Sundays was church and it was so legit! Cram 80 people
younger than 30 AND a stage with a full band into a small room and the hallway
and THAT was our church. It was SO LEGIT!!!! [I’m gonna write more about this in my next
blog]
