I might get to keep the foreigners.

So the school where I studied how to teach people to speak English because they can't already do this, called me and was like "we want you, we need you, oh baby come back," cept they didn't really. But now I'm teaching there part time. Which is great because I always thought it was sad how no one else speaks like me.

This also means I'm working a lot more. Which is like a lot. That's not so much fun, but I'm almost sure they're going to pay me. Something. Perhaps in foreigners because they seem to have a lot those, mostly just wandering around without teacher-people to bring them up and discipline them.

Like today in class, I taught the kids (who are actually adults but because they're foreign we look at them differently), when we use "used to" in the English language.

And I said, "No, Louisa* you can't say 'When I lived in Spain, we were used to eat really late at night."

Louisa: "Why not? It has all the verbs."

me: "Yeah. Perhaps too many. It's wrong though."

Louisa: "No, you're wrong. You said to use used to for events that happened in the past on a regular basis but have been discontinued, like I used to run to school, but now that I don't go to school I don't run there anymore." - This is almost nothing like how she said it, I put in some of my words to make it English and to give you the impression that I can actually teach them to speak properly and not just use words in front of foreign people.


me: "Yes. That's exactly how I said it."

Louisa: "Well, it must be were used to eat because were shows that there is more than one person doing the action because you said we. Then we put the used to to show that the people who were wering from the we did something in the past that they don't do now and the eat is the thing that the we, were's doing. See?"

me: "Yes."

...

me: "That's exactly it. Well done."


Louisa: *Smile*

I like having a class of people because I pretend they're my friends when we play word games.
