There are a lot of new teachers in BISM 3 this year. Most of them are from the UK and therefore their knowledge of Russian is either non-existent or really weak. Since Russian is my native language, I decided to undertake a new challenge and test my skills in an area that previously I had never gotten involved in - teaching my mathematics teacher Mr Bruce some Russian to make his life in Moscow a bit easier.
Every Wednesday we've been staying after school to have our lessons. On our very first lesson I was very surprised to find out that he already knew the alphabet and could read and my job was to teach him useful phrases and how to pronounce and use them in sentences correctly.
At the beginning of every lessons I always ask Mr Bruce whether there are any specific topics or even words that he would like to know the translation of. The first couple of lessons I taught him how to ask for help, greet friends and order food in a restaurant and then we moved on to learning different types of food such as vegetables and kinds of meat.
I am very pleased to say that Mr Bruce turned out to be a very good and talented student, who had shown passion for learning, so our lessons were very enjoyable for both of us. His knowledge of Russian is improving so dramatically that during our last lesson he even attempted to translate whole sentences. Surprisingly, he got most of the sentences written by me right and even got me really impressed by attempting to form some sentences in Russian himself.
By getting involved in this activity I believe to have achieved the following CAS outcomes:
- Undertook new challenges
- Planned and initiated activities
- Showed perseverance and commitment
- Developed new skills
