So here I am, waiting to do my first observed teaching. And I have to say: I'm pretty nervous. It's a beginners class and it's a vocab lesson, so I have a bag of fruit and veg (ones where the names are a bit different to the Spanish) and I'm now worrying about plurals and how to explain to the class when they use like and don't like (which may be hard enough) they have to use plurals. Well at least the poor souls aren't paying for these lessons. I guess the nerves are more to do with never having done exactly this kind of thing. I've done training sessions by the bucketload but somehow this is different, you have to think about every word you use, and pitch your use of language at the right level... and the difficulty is that we have no real idea of who will turn up. It might be a class of utter beginners or a class that will get it all very quickly and be bored stupid.  ¶ 8:40 PM
