Miss V : Jaina, we must reserve your hotel for the course in London next week.
Me: Huh what?
Miss V: Well you know, you'll give courses in London Monday.
Me: [...]
White.
White, white, white.
Yes, I learned that I had to teach a course in London ... in ENGLISH. I'm not a Fortiche of English, so I slightly PANIC! My whole being cried out to me not to go, no, no, no!
short, I got my violence and even when I went into auto mode persuasion I can do I can do ... the job pays the rent, the job pays the rent ... And then I was a little ashamed to throw a tantrum in front of my boss by tapping his foot for not starting work in London, so I did not. And then my whole family told me: "How lucky to travel with the job!" Yeah, they did not test the hotels in the industrial area with no means of locomotion, the nearest restaurant 2km walk .
Hum I digress!
Auto persuasion ...
I went to London, I am not lost in the London subway on the morning of my arrival but I got lost in the street and I arrived a little late. Monday morning my stress was huge (all instructors have the right to the stress of Monday morning, when we find our clients the week) and I felt not understand half of what I told the nice man who introduced me to my team.
But you know what, with 50% of a sentence, it often includes the general idea!
Comes the time of commencement of the course (gone gone you can do it), and hop diving!
Beh, I do not drown! My students listened and understood me, they started asking questions and ... Finally the week has passed without more hassle than usual. It's crazy that I managed to do a week of classes in English, like what I had underestimated my level ... or my students were very, very lenient!
So finally, I survived, I loved the breakfast Français, pints of beer and the super Indian restaurant! Big Big Big Ben, I will see you!
