“What is this supposed to mean?”

“Why does this guy keep on writing in a language that I don't understand?”

Thats probably what most of you are thinking right now, and why I'm doing it?

• I have no clue.

But anyway this is how people great each other in Luganda.

It was really kinda hard to get the hang of it at first, but slowly I'm getting it.

I can buy stuff in shops and do some small talk without using any English!

It's just the numbers that sometimes get me:

• Sebo, Rolex sente mmeka? (Mister, how much is that Rolex?)
• Nkumi Biri. ( 1500 )
• Whats that in English???

I still can't really manage to follow or have a proper conversation, but I'm positive that I'll get there!

Now what am I doing at the moment?

I'm a primary school teacher and I teach English to P4 and P3, Science to P4 and spelling to P1 and P2.

The school is really small, same as the classes (10-15 students) – what I'm really happy about, cause its already really hard to keep them under control!

We have 3 Teachers (4 including me) at the moment, which is why two classes are always taught together. This makes it really hard finding an appropriate level that everybody understands, but does not bore half of them to death.

Also do we not have enough school material. For example: In English we have three pupil books and none for the teacher. Since three books are almost impossible to share between 15 pupils we use them as teacher books.

The really bad thing about it is that we have to write everything on the board, whether it is an exercise, or a story that you want to read. Do you have any idea about how long it takes for a class to copy a page long story from the blackboard?

- You can plan one or two hours for that!

Apart from school material, the lack of knowledge in English in many kids makes it really hard, since my Luganda ain't that good yet, to explain new kinds of exercises, especially in the lower classes like P1 & 2.

Enough for now!

And write some comments!!!
