First day at school we had a kind of introductory seminar. On Tuesday we had a computer lesson and we learned how to keep a weblog and how to update it. The afternoon lesson was canceled because the teacher couldn't arrive because of the snow.
On Wednesday we had a Danish lesson and I was really loking forward to it as I wanted to learn some basic phrases. Unfortunately, this lesson was a big disappointment. Although the teacher used a good excercise as motivation (we had to guess at the meaning of Danish words which are common in other languages, too), otherwise she broke nearly all didactic rules concerning language teaching.
Although we didn't know how to pronounce phrases correctly, we had to practice them and repeat 3 phrases them in circles. No matter that everybody pronounced it differently. Moreover, she shot questions at us afterwards and wanted us to answer in a flash.
She also refused to transcribe the phrases on the blackboard so that we could pronounce them correctly and didn't even know how to write the Czech Republic and Czech.
The art lesson in the afternoon was much better. We tried to draw ourselves and we've done a lot of different techniques. We drew ourselves without looking at the paper, we measured our faces with a pencil, we also tried drawing with a white crayon. The teacher was really nice and friendly and I'm looking forward to seeing her again. You can view my self-portrait and judge how successful I was.:-)
