#6 Breaking it down

At the beginning of this stage a was a little bit scared to work with child because I am not used to it. BUT... after a week I started to like working with them, they are all listening what I am telling them to do so because they see a lot of volunteers. I learned a lot of new words in this stage , like ( Wash your mess ) which means to clean up , I learned this one by looking on the wall, there I saw a poster that were saying to wash your mess. I learned ( Fool around ) by asking its meaning to the manager when a kid were doing stupid things. Friday's the day we play games like : Ballon chanseur, I asked how we say it in English and it is Dodge ball. We also played : Bonhomme pendu, for this one I learning it was Hangman by looking on the board. One more word I learned the first day was to Greet volunteers, this one I did not know it's meaning but I guessed it means : to be respectful with volunteers. Once I was helping a kid with his home works I had some problems with pronunciation because the child did not speak French and just a little bit of English but I always found the way to get to the point by making gestures or saying it with different words. For sure after about 10 hours there I became more fluent, more confident and it really helps having a great conversation.
