Hey everyone! :) Just a brief introduction about myself and how to use this blog.
My name is YoungJee and I am super excited to have been given this opportunity to try to help and give back.I know that I will not be the best "teacher/tutor," but I will try my hardest! The youth group leader/preacher and I met and formed a syllabus/course guideline! We (my cousins and I) will be basically making each groups' curriculum, so if you want us to focus on something, please just tell us! :) Reading this may take a long time, but I am typing in English because:
1) I can't really write and read Korean .. takes forever!
2) I want you guys to practice reading! :)
With that being said, please do not feel shy or ashamed about anything! Remember that my writing and reading Korean skills ARE worse than anyone's English skills here! You guys can read Korean rapidly and write it without thinking, but it takes me forever to do so --- and I have to really try. So, just think that our language "talents" got switched.
With that being said, please try to actively engage yourselves in the English conversations we will have and ask ANY questions!!
You guys have three people who want to teach English, so please utilize us!
***Please write a sentence or two in the comments section about what you want us to focus on! Make sure to type your name at the end of the post! :)
THANKS!
