@Tsundererra: yeah sometimes I feel weird like I went into a cell phone store on Sunday and wanted to recharge data. they literally just looked at me and said "no not today. tomorrow" and looked kind of impatient. I still remember French xD better than my Korean for sure haha

yeah the fact that I'm not certified in the US makes me feel like a fraud. the TEOSL training helped in theory? but I think the experience I've gotten over time is what helps the most

I mostly stay home and relax xD

@Tsundererra: sometimes...some people sound annoyed. but yeah they usually are pretty apologetic for not speaking English and I'm like noooo you're fine. this is your country.

hmm I'm not really a legit teacher. like I did get certified to teach English as a foreign language but I'm not a teacher teacher in the US.
we do have weekends off! which is great. just the two consecutive days off. it's not like I do much with my weekends lol |D

@Totalanimefan: yesterday was busyyy. hence not online much haha. I went to watch frozen 2 and then just work and home and sleep

@Tsundererra: yeahhh I try to tell myself it's fine. but I don't want to come across as an inconsiderate foreigner either |D and I feel bad for not speaking their language. such an inconvenience for them. sometimes it's fun when they just continue in Korean and I continue in English. usually my interactions only require yes or no answers from me anyway

hahaha I feel like it's the reverse because the parents can take their money elsewhere so we have to try to make the parents happy |D but also yes we can kick kids out. honestly though there are sooo many academies to choose from, it's more of if we can keep the students with us or not
mine now is 1pm to 9pm. the classes are 2:30 to 8:15 at the latest. usually ends at 6:20. only a couple classes at the 6:25 to 8:15 block
my first job here was 3pm to 10pm. classes from 4 to 10.

@Totalanimefan: haha I'm back at home for the night. long day |D didn't check in that much during the morning

---

@Tsundererra: yeah if I forced myself to use it more, I'm sure I would improve a lot more. also I could go to Korean classes or something. but I guess I'm not the most motivated right now. I always find starting a new language really exciting and fun and then I lose interest pretty quickly. the interest/motivation goes up and down.

yeah since it's just one of those after school academies, the parents have to pay for them to be there. so it's also more of a business than an educational institute at times

@SnakeWeaver: no worries~ I haven't been online until now |D which is much much later

---

@SnakeWeaver: I've started a trade~

@Totalanimefan: good talking to you~
have a good night!!

@Tsundererra: xD yeah living in the countryside has that advantage. most people here speak some English so I never really use Korean |D I mean it helps to know what the kids are complaining about. but I also feel so self-conscious about my pronunciation. some of the times when I /do/ use it, people don't understand me and I'm like |||D oh

ugh I don't wear the mask because I guess I'm reckless. but a lot of people do |D
rip earth every day though

ohh you worked at a public school?
I work at a private academy. hagwon life. so it's even more so like take care of the kids, make sure the parents don't complain
I have sent a kid out of the room before. our biggest threat I guess is just to take stamps away or say the Korean supervisors will call their mom
