I finished my first week of teaching in Hungary!!!

Things went well. Of course, I was a little nervous before starting. But, I'm looking forward to a good year. Most of my students have a good grasp of English, but I have to speak slowly and clearly. And...for those of you who are wondering, I do speak loud enough for them to hear me. :-)

I have 13 different classes that I meet with each week. Most of them I only see once, but I do have a couple of classes that I see 3 or 4 times a week. My classes consist of 10 to 15 students. That makes it easier to work with each one of them. I really like it.

My commute to school takes about 45 minutes. I walk about ten minutes to the tram and take two different trams. The second one drops me off pretty much right in front of my school. The commute has been nice as well. It gives me time to listen to some worship music on my way into and out of the teaching mode.

As is the case with anything, there are difficulties. Adjusting to the work ethic of a new culture is at times difficult. But I've been learning to be flexible and roll with it. So, I'm doing well. God is good!!!
