Korean Class-Picture Day


This is the class photo from Korean class. The instructor is seated three from the right in the front row. She is wearing a greyish skirt and lavender top. She is incredibly patient and skilled at her job. I must admit it is very helpful being in the student's perspective when you yourself are acting as the teacher. Especially to people who are learning your native language as their second language. After sitting through several of her teaching sessions I immediately realized why it is so important to speak slowly when instructing.

Similar to slowing down to eat it is also important to slow down when you speak. First so people can thoroughly understand what you're saying and second so you have a deeper appreciation for your ability to converse using language.
