Summer vacation

     
     For the summer vacation, I don't have any specific plans yet.

All I want to do is take a rest for a while and send my children to

a summer camp, which I've already registered.Accidently, I was asked to teaching

in Korean for young children (1st ~6th grade) in the church as a volunteer.

In fact, I am not a Christian even though I go to church for socializing with

other Korean. Besides, I didn't have enough experiences to teach young children

except my own children who always make me reflect on my teaching philosophy.

Ironically, I have never taught my native language to others, which is very important

to me. I accepted this proposal reluctantly. I need to prepare for this classes during the

vacation to meet parents' expectation: they wish to communicate with their children

in Korean.

     Speaking of communications, I found quite interesting phenomena. When Korean

family talking, parent always speak in Korean while their children keep speaking in English.

As parents use some English but their children cannot speak a single Korean.

Apparently, it doesn't look uncomfortable for them. How two different languages can

be a tool!
