German Visit

Last Thursday(Sept. 16), we had German visitors in our class. I think their names were Alex, Patrick and Yan, not that sure, but they were really nice. It's awkward to speak, because we might commit mistakes and of course they'll notice. But they don't laugh whenever we commit mistakes, and they even corrected us and tell us the right word to use. I even talked to one of them and he told me that what I've written on my "fake" business card was wrong. Well it was really wrong, and he told me a lot of things about it. They were willing to teach us about their language, and I hope they will come again to our class. I find them cute too, so I BADLY WANTED TO VISIT GERMANY.haha :)

Frau Roorkie Ong :)

When our professor, Frau Arroyo, went to Germany for a two week course in Goethe Institute(not sure about the spelling), we had a substitute professor. I'm afraid of her at first because I know she's really fluent in speaking German. She's been in Germany a lot of times, and she even know how to speak other languages. So I'm afraid to speak in class(we all are). But a day or two of being with her, I started to like her. She's great and she's really an energizer. Her style of teaching encourages us, coz she's giving everyone a chance to speak. I think she memorized all our names in just two or three days. She even said that she like our class because we like to take notes. I think her style of writing German words in the blackboard helped us in our recalling of genders, or as she calls it "The Almighty Gender". I learned a lot from her and I'll always remember her. She said that she'll miss our class, and we do miss her too :) it was a great experience with her.
