Helping Students Practice English

I am very grateful for the opportunity I have to meet with international students and help them improve their English. I did that for nearly two hours tonight, and I had so much fun! It was a pleasure and a delightful challenge to try to explain meanings of words, as well as differences between two similar words. The conversations I had with the students were very enlightening. I learned so much about my own language and about the experience of learning English from a Korean's point of view. I will probably do that again. I left the classroom feeling a great deal of gratitude for the fascinating complexity of English, and of language in general, as well as this unique experience I had with language acquisition.
