Hi Sweet Home



Elementary teachers in my city have to partake in a program called "Hi Sweet Home" where the English teacher visits the home of one of his/her students to meet the family.

Today I went on my first visit. It was a bit awkward at first, because of the language barrier. The mum was so kind and prepared various fruits, bread and juice for me. Her youngest son brought out various objects from his room to ask me the English name for them (dinosaur, soccer ball etc...). They were very hospitable and I was given a fantastic wall chart map of Korea.

    kp

    well, the kids take home a letter to their parents with a reply slip. if the parents want to have the teacher over, they reply 'yes'. then certain kids are picked (with reasonable english level). and then... their names got put into a box and it's picked like that - easy!
