Yay! Another trimester of English classes completed!
Now I have 3 weeks before the next trimester begins, but I am not exactly doing nothing. In addition to my regular Bambara lessons, I've started visiting a nearby village once a week for practice. Next week I'll spend the whole week in a village with a small team from my group. Then we have registration nights at English school. For now I am working to finish up a translation project. Our curriculum at English school is made of 5 books/levels. I teach level 1, and we say it is the beginner level, but real beginners have a hard time as it is all in English and assumes the learners have a bit of English already. The publisher has made a level 0 book. I am helping to put the French words for things to prepare it for printing.
It is nice to have a little break from classes, but I am looking forward to the new classes starting. It will be fun but kind of sad for me because it will be my last trimester of teaching here. In only 3 1/2 months we are planning to move.
