Hello Everybody! I am having a pretty good week. I had Wednesday off so I was able to relax all day. I watched a couple of movies and studied Chinese. It was fun. Today all I have is one class, and its an oral test, so I don't have to prepare. I just take the students out one by one and use my test script to assess their English speaking skills. It is going to be relaxing.
On the subject of studying languages, I have recently been studying Chinese characters. I try to memorize 8 new ones a day. I only started two days ago, so I only have 16 memorized so far. I am going to memorize eight more today. I have also been listening to a language podcost that I discovered on iTunes. It is from chinesepod.com. If anybody reading this is thinking about learning a language and you have an iPod, I would recommend looking for a podcast on iTunes. It has helped me a lot with some grammatical questions I have. My Chinese isn't amazing yet, but I think it will grow.
Tomorrow we are going to celebrate Moon Festival at work, by eating lots of barbeque. I am excited. Everyone knows I love to eat. Next week, we go on vacation to Kenting. It is the place in Taiwan where they have good beaches. We really miss the beach. It is going to be very enjoyable. We'll take lots of pictures. Well, I'll try to get some pictures of me at work and post them later. Bye for now!
