Teaching English in Korea

The other night at the gym while putting my shoes on one of our acquaintance  started a conversation with me on what I am doing on my free time, if I have Korean friend, what do I do at home and etc., I simply replied surfing the net on her first question and no for having Korean friends because on my four years of existence in Korea I only met other people when I go out to shop and work out in the gym.  Well she asked me if I want to come with her, at first I am rattled thinking it is going to be  a church program but it turns out it was not. She asked me if I want to read history or probably story to the kids, if I want to teach English to them. I immediately say no and told her my English is not good but she insist that she thinks my English is good. Lol

When I told my husband about her invitation my husband immediate reaction is “but you’re English is not good” which I seconded and informed him that I declined her job invitation. It could be fine if I know I am fluent in English and I can work legally in Korea but as a dependent visa I am not allowed to work.

Jeju Chocolates from My Husband’s Student

When my husband came home from work I look after his bag to get his lunch box and today when I did it I am surprised to see a hello kitty zip bag with chocolates .

My husband says it was from one of his student who went to Jeju for short vacation. The zip bag is marked with 영어 선생님 (English Teacher) so probably the student gave present to all of her subject teacher, what a sweet gesture isn’t it? Anyway I ate all of this chocolates because my husband is on his diet I mean he don’t eat chocolate on week days just on the weekend.
