Micro Go Go

Today marks the second day of working at Lingua and the fourth day back in Moscow for the welcome back tour. The day has been successful with another three lessons at Lingua communicating the English love to the willing. I had a clever idea this morning on how to incorporate my Micro Machine collection into a lesson. After all, who wouldn’t love to play with miniature cars in order to learn valuable driving and directions English. Especially when there were Australian coins up for grabs. But my plan would also require a large map and a list of different buildings in my paper-borne city.

The end result was a hit and I’ve outdone myself yet again, which will ultimately result in the inevitable. High student expectations for the next class. But I think I’ll ride on the success of the club just gone and see how far I get. IN other Lingua news, I’m told by the director that we’re having a party soon and I am required to prepare an authentic Australian dish. No ideas have come to me so anyone with an idea and/or recipe, please feel free to share. J J I will give you 50 rubles. You know I’m good for it. J J

I finally unpacked and sorted the rest of my luggage and it’s all away now. So the apartment is that much cleaner. I also went to the supermarket today and bought some of the ever lovely smoked spaghetti cheese. YUM!!! It is the tastiest indeed.

I have started listening to music at home now and am starting to realize how ace Noel Sanger is. (Thanks Daniel for the mad tracks. J ) If you would like your own, Hybridized.org is a wonderful place to start.

Stay tuned for the next edition where I will introduce you to my apartment and different parts of my world. Thanks for tuning in. J
