Our Classmates and teachers. From top down the left side of the group to the bottom. Travis and Nikki Ray, Mike and Cherie Peachey with there daughter Ashlyn. Both of these families will be serving together at the New Tribes ITF center. From the top down the right side. Aute and Dave whom are our teachers. Tobi, a single nurse who has come for 10 months. Then there is Bryan and Me!
This is where our brain gets filled up and spinning. Class time is where we get introduced to sentences, grammer, and vocabulary. Grammer is the part that really overwhelms us at times. Let me share how orientation looks for this first E2 level that we are in right now and wrapping up next Tuesday! We have three days that we are in the classroom for the morning. This introduces us to a specific dialogue. From this dialogue we get new vocabulary, grammer points, and homework. Then in the afternoon we go out into the villages and try to use what we have learned and take in a new cultural events. Tuesday and Thursday mornings we get more exposure to culture, then in the afternoon is when we have time to study! It's been super fun, of course challenging at times, and eye opening!
Dialogue and vocabulary practice with our national teacher Aute
These are all our orientation leaders. Jorjina and Aute, who give us a true understanding of how to speak the language and get us out in the culture to experience life here in PNG. Dave and Robin Watters are the organizers, teachers, secretary, yah they do it all to help us learn about PNG language and culture.
