day 21, 22, 23,24

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were all the same in the night because im trying to learn Spanish as soon as possible.

In the day though im still in the honeymoon of my now favorite hobby...teaching kids.
This week I finished teaching the kids about past, present, and future, and started teaching them about senses. For these 4 days i taught them sight. the lesson broke down like this:

1. I start writing figures from 1 - 4 on the black board and get them to say the number as im doing it, then i get them to tell me what they are "numbers" they shout. Next i start writing A - D, they scream the letters and tell me what group they're in "Letters".

2. I start drawing shapes on the board, they struggle bad so i beckon them on by half saying the word but end up telling them anyway as they actually don't know they are in English, but they do in Spanish. Then i tell them what group they are in and i mark it next to number 1 on the board to tell them at number 1 the first bit of information the eyes tell you is the shape.

3. I then get them to look at things and tell me about them, as soon as they tell me the colour i stop them and ask them about a different object, i keep doing this till they cotten on to the fact that i want the colour then i ask the the group name.

4. I then do positon by pretty much doing the crip walk (the hop scotch bit) round the class while holding a globe, then i get them to tell me the difference between a toy car and a real car to get them to stress size.

At any point if they struggle for the group name i go back through the numbers and letters as a building base to grasp the other group.

After this i get them to do exercise and then walk back to the class as something that causes mass destruction such as ninjas, tigers, sas, and boxers
( i was going to get them to walk back normally to the class wearing a backpack and and a london bus route map hanging out their back pocket but i thought this was going too far)


This was the first week i taught the teachers as well which was a nightmare as i found i have to relearn English to teach them, and instead of being all intermediate, they were of varying levels, plus.....they're adults.
I did find out one thing....the average Spanish adult are while mature, have never lost they're childhood side to the point where i believe they all live a second childhood.
This is evident as the teachers enjoyed laughing and joking around and they wanted to read a Harry Potter book as opposed to a history book about they're own country.
At first i thought it was just them as they teach kids all day but its not! Every time i meet a Spaniard i see it, and the fact that they risk they're life's in letting bulls chase them down a street once a year backs it more, but of course you cant generalize a whole race till you meet them all and i haven't so don't quote me.

On Friday night the girls took us out to a bar and another club. The bar was a Hawaiian bar and as you can see in the pictures you can drink out of smoking volcanoes. The drama happened there because we brought a guy from new jersey to chill with us and him and my other mate started trying to mack or "slew" as we now call it some girls on the table behind us. The girls we were with weren't too impressed as the guys were also slagging off the place they took us so we bumped the guys and it was just me another guy and the 2 girls going to a club called "Sweet".
The club was banging and i mean properly banging!!! Only 1 floor this time but it was like some ghetto club with no attitude. There was either gangsters, break dancers, or seriously hot chicas but not one of them had an attitude, it was amazing. People were crip walking, break dancing, body popping and just generally trying to mutilate themselves in the most choreographic way possible.

Again got home at 6am, my sleeping pattern is completely out the window now.
