And this is why you are our Teacher of the Month for August.
Ben I love this.
I’m thinking a book on reflections / meditations on language teaching… each chapter a different little story like this one. the writing is vibrant intense. Maybe it should all be with the cooking / chef feel… Oh I can almost see the illustrations… there have to be pictures.
On the Din thing – I get this with Thai. I listen to Thai podcasts… easy conversations… etc… while I”m cleaning / cooking. And sometimes I just hear these phrases in my head – and they’re from the recordings… it’s like when you get an earworm – a song that sticks in your head.
Little kids practice the delicious sounds and word fragments of the Din as they line up after Spanish and file down the hall to another class…I hear them experimenting with these ingredients and it’s mouthwateringly delicious. Sometimes when I pass them in the hall I hear a random chunk- a rejoinder, a fragment of dialogue from a story…they are reaching out to me, as their savory sounds waft and float…
Yeah, it’s awesome! One of my favorite comments by a student about this was telling me how he blurted out Chinese words at dinner, they were so much in his head. Surprised his parents who had no idea what he was saying!
