It’s only been a week since I finished my CELTA, but I’ve already landed a job teaching. I’m a classroom in North Sydney right now.

Sorry for not letting you know beforehand, I didn’t want to ‘jinx’ it. But I’ve officially begun and after two lessons of an hour each everything’s going well so far.

We’re on a break at the moment. My class has five students, but only three have shown up today! All three are Thai, and seem to be in their early twenties, like a lot of international students in Australia. I will teach them and only them four days a week.

They’re chatting away in Thai, which is very interesting for someone who loves languages, like me. Hopefully I can pick some up. One guy has just taught me “banana” which is “groe” (I’ve romanised it obviously).
