WHAT IS TO BE A YOUNG LANGUAGE LEARNER? 

My pupils doing an activity

Well, now I know what means to be a language young learner. He  is someone who wants to learn a language that is not his mother tongue. Children are young learners because they start learning since a very early age. I have had the opportunity to be a teacher in the kindergarten and  I can say that it was a wonderful experience; however I was so scared the first day because I had never interacted with children and less for giving classes.
The children were a little bit noisy, but they have a very strict teacher, and she told them to behave with me. I enjoyed my time with my pupils, and also I learned to be patient when I was teaching them because they were very talkative and liked to be playing all the time. At the moment of teaching, it was very difficult because they were paying attention to other things that were not related with the class.

Working so hard for getting a prize

During the time I was teaching children, I tried to enjoy, to learn a lot, and to take advantage of every minute I shared with them. Now, that amazing challenge is over, and it’s just another good experience I have achieved in my professional life because it helped me to grow too much as a person. It also allowed me to acquire knowledge, and experience. learning a new language can be difficult but if you as a teacher can be as more dynamic as you can,you could be sure that they will learn at least something.

I am so thankful with my first pupils because they were very good students, and I love working with them; however, I know that I can not learn for my students, but I can be the help they need to success.
