(no subject)

So this whole ESL business is harder than I'd thought it would be! I started volunteering at the ESL Study Centre last week (although due to various failings at life I've only actually done two days so far) and for the most part I'm enjoying it (really the only part I'm not enjoying is the part where I have to get up in the morning), but man! Already I have been asked questions about English that I really do not know the answer to, and I really don't like this feeling! How can you spend all day every day with something and yet not be able to explain it?! Today one of the students asked me the difference between "such as" and "such a." I can usually think of example sentences pretty quickly but actually explaining this stuff is a completely different matter. During orientation, the teacher in charge of the centre stressed that we're volunteers, not teachers, and so it's okay if we don't know some of this stuff, but augh, it still makes me want to learn it all so I don't feel like such an idiot having to confess that I don't know. :| So yeah, haha, at the moment at least I kind of prefer getting students who just want to have a conversation in English. xD

Since I'm going to the centre again tomorrow I'd better be getting to bed, but I shall leave you with this video that the_wykydtron linked me to. I have no idea what it is about this video, but it is Pride and Prejudice and ridiculousness and every time I watch it it gets funnier: Posh Dancing.
