This is my smallest class. It's just Bunny and John, and they can barely speak any English. They seem about seven or eight years old, by our count. We only meet on Thursday and Friday afternoons. I'm glad it's not a daily class, because it's very difficult to teach them. It's kind of fun sometimes, though. I draw a lot of pictures and demonstrate a lot of the vocabulary to make them understand what I'm saying, and vice versa.
Bunny understands significantly more than John, so she often has to explain to John in Korean. I wish I understood more of their language so I could explain things to them better. But I guess the point of immersion is that you have to try all the harder to make them understand the new language.
Once my new schedule starts in March, I think this class is going to be absorbed into a bigger class, if my boss can work out the schedule right.
