We have been teaching English at the local business school in the village for around a week now and it has gone so quick! We teach three classes a day; Beginners, Advanced Beginners, and an evening class of teenagers who worryingly probably speak better English than us.
The children pay $5 a month to attend the school, which is a massive amount of money for them, so they do really want to learn.
However this is not to say it hasn't been a challenge. Every lesson we are greeted with a 'teacher nooooooo teacher' as we countdown the time to stop writing. Or 'teacher sing a song', 'play a gaaaame teacher'. We recently put on a performance of the whole of Justin Bieber - Baby.. Not sure how they felt about that.
The experience has been rewarding and has definitely put us in good stead for our next project; teaching English for 6 weeks in Thailand.
We have one day left at the school before leaving for amazing Siem Reap!
