Law school this year, but I recently taught English in China. A uni grad with a B.Sc. (Bio, French), former Parliamentary tour guide (Ottawa, Canada), and a survivor of Lille (France).

Teacher's Day... September 10th in China is Teacher's Day. It's not a stat holiday so nobody gets the day off, but students sometimes give flowers to their teachers or sing them a song. Maybe I'll have to bug my students on Monday to sing me a song.
No, it was all in Mandarin. I somehow fumble through, and people generally understand. I've learned a lot since I've arrived, but I have a lot more to learn. Ming bai ma?

ReplyDeletewere you successful in having your students sing a song?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I did get one class to wish me a happy teachers day. I did try to get them to sing though (as they often try to get me to sing in class).
