Here it is, my last Sunday afternoon of freedom: Every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm until the end of April, I'll be taking a course (hopefully) culminating in a certificate in teaching ESL and maybe ESOL, too, wotever that is. The mood in la casa Carew has segued from
"Brief Thoughts of Energetic Activity"--walk? chop veggies? do laundry? toTalk to ya later.....
"Wonder If I Can Make It to Whole Foods for More Red Wine" to
"There's Lots of White Left, and I Can Get Just as Happy On That" to
"My Feet Are Cold...Think I'll Put On Woolly Socks and Climb Under the Covers."
I know ESL, but what is ESOL? English as a Second Other Language? English as a Secret Other Life? Eating in Sexy Orange Lingerie?
ReplyDeleteYour question made me wonder something... as you know, the sign language used by the deaf varies widely from country to country... are there people who teach, say, ASL (American Sign Language for those unfamiliar) as a second language to a deaf person from Britain or Australia who has learned their own native version of sign but is now moving to the US?

hejda! just when i think i've got the ronnie's straightened out on theseyer blogs, you stop puttin' the cat up. in anser to ur qq....yes, they do teach ASL to deafies from other countries (most especially from the UK, where they sign with two hands--so very unlike th french and us). that's one of the major bidnesses at my skool. i like English as a Secret Other Life.
