How to Talk to Korean Children

When the subject of me teaching English in Korea comes up, many people often say "I didn't know you speak Korean." Many people assume that I have to be fluent in Korean in order to teach the kids English. Not so! To help people understand what it's like communicating, I decided to film a little bit of student-teacher interaction during each of my elementary classes. Unfortunately, some of the kids were so distracted by it that it caused total chaos in the classroom. I left out most of those videos...

As you can see, there's some give and take on both ends, but even though I am told that I speak more Korean than many foreign teachers...you will see how little I actually speak in some of these videos.

Enjoy!
