Wegorzewo

had my first day with students on my own....they are allowed to speak Polish in class and to me, very frustrating since I think it is a waste of time, money, energy on my part. the first class is very young, very naive and very cute - the lowest level. I have to play a game with them tomorrow. that age's attention span is nil. but we sat in a circle and did rapid fire questions. got their attention big time.
second group older and a little more advanced. third more advanced and older and the last are full blown teenagers who act like they are bored to tears, when deep down inside they are craving attention and approval. Polish people are very reserved, one girl did NOT like it when I asked one of her classmated if he had a girlfriend. that is private, she said. whatever ... she does not know me at all !! I prefer classes that are real and open - esp. since I am quite open about my life.
