Korean Class Update

A new Korean teacher has arrived on the scene. She is both skillful and energetic. Ms. Kim is a professor at Samyung University. Class is moving faster, much faster. We learned "What is this?" and "What is that?" We learned things in a classroom: book, chair, window, door, clock, pen. Also, we tackled words incidental to the learning process: Understand, Don't Understand, Read, Say, Write, Difficult, and Hard. Some syntax was learned. There is a suffix that is applied to the last word of questions, and another suffix to the last word of statements. My inability to read with proficiency is a severe handicap.

Becoming the student is a great reminder of how difficult it is to learn a language. I think that most my students learn quicker and retain more than me compartively. I don't think that i'm so old that my age is a disability, as much as an advantage. Yet pound for pound my 3rd graders do better than me, or is it I.
