Tutoring korean kids

Juz back from the tuition.. Had the chance to tutor korean kids.. The kids i had today were pri 5 and 6 kids.. Very ke ai.. they way they speak korean.. I mean, after all, English is not their 1st language.. and it's really hard to pick up an entirely new language, one which is not spoken ur family.. I admire their courage and perservation..

This boy told me that he's alone in s'pore, living with his guardian.. He juz had a change in guardian. The current one is a Taiwanese man with a Korean wife. His previous one cheated him on his money. She delayed in the payment of his sch fees and the school had to call all the way back to Korea to ask for payment. Whenever he ask his guardian for money, she would tell him he had used up all of them and there;s no more left.

Sometimes i admire these kids for their courage, and their ability to adapt to a totally new living environment, with people who speak a different tongue from u. And, being away from ur family, those homesickness, i guess even for me, i wun be able to handle..

Jia you kids.. I;m sure a bright future awaits u.. juz hang on, bear with these "pain" for a while.. It will be over b4 u noe it.. and the stay and education here will form part of ur invaluable memory..
