Hi Harry

"Power to your elbow" for engaging in a profession that I have heard is very hard in your native country. I have a friend in Moscow who teaches, and said it is difficult considering that Russian is quite far away from English as a language. Also it apparently has a large vocabulary, as does English.

What do you think? Do you speak any other languages and do you find them easier than English?

Hi, Steward!
Nice to meet you. It's really very hard to teach Russians to speak English. It's mainly because of their pronunciation.But I'm trying hard and I must say I know how to teach them as I have been teaching English in Russian schools for a very long period of time.Russia isn't my native country. I come from Armenia. Besides Armenian I speak Russian, a little German a little Danish and of course English. I feel very comfotrtable when I speak Armenian, Russian and English. All the languages become very easy when you have a great wish. This is what I tell my students who learn English. Can you believe when I feel they have a great wish I teach them easily. By the way Armenian is very easy to learn.

Hi Muin

Nice to meet you.
Can you tell us more about English in the Gaza Strip? What sorts of English classes do you teach? What age(s) are your students? And what about your interest in music? Can you tell us more about that?

Amy

PS
Your reference to the "G-Six" on this site was a very clever turn of phrase. Wink
Hello Amy,
Nice to meet you too.Well, English in Gaza has so far passed a lot of circumstances which imposed the ideology and philosophy of any authority. I remmember when I was young I studied English at the age of 13. It was called at that time "preparotory level" . It was the audio-lingual method -as I learned later.that we were taught through.The material was not authentic but that was fashionable at that time. Then came L.G Alexander with his series of New Concept English: Practice and progress for Secondary Level ,then Developing Skills and finally Fluency in English for more advanced learners. During the ocupation days they changed the syllabus to include Excel in English, followed by
Hello ( eight series). Today, we teach English for Palestine from the 1st grade (6year)to 12th grade (18 year ).
Actually, I teach English for Secondary Level (12th) grade ,girl's school, as you might know we don't have mixed sexes,although we have male teachers and female ones ,even our principal is a woman! But we deal with each other as brothers and the girls are our daughters . We do not have stories ! like other societies. I do not mean to show that we better than others but it is the philosophy of society. Peopl feel that their daughters are secured and who commit a moral mistake i.e.betray his honesty and the rules of the profession , wow wow wow.....A big scandal and you know the rest of the story.
Music, all people love music. even the fudmentalists like music but descent music .I mean no bad words or swear things or discribing the beauty of a woman! For me I wanted to use music inmy teaching but do you think the people of my town will agree? Maybe but with reservation.Although I played the guitar with an oriental band in wedding parties ,people respeted me even if they saw me on the stage. I never allowed anyone to mock my being a musician. I used to tell them that at school I am ateacher but out I am free!!!
I changed the guitar to play oriental music : playing the quarter of a tune . inyour music you only have half tune but in Arabic ,there is a variety of scales ,in addition to western music( major scale ,minor , 7th , diminished ,9th, sus, pentatonic ,rock ,heavy meta,l blues....etc.
I hope you enjoyed this though I am humble and do not like showing off because I believe that nothing last forever except good deeds that we take with us in our graves.
hank you Amy again ,and stay in touch.
Salam Alikom(Peace be upon you)
Regards,
Muin

By the way Amy, Alan Johnston;the BBC correspondent in Gaza was a friend of mine. I fought to release him because I translated reports for him and he even made adocumentary report entitled :A day in the life of a Palestinian Teacher. I was the model. Realy he is a good man and he helped to show the world how we suffer during the millitary operationlast summer by Israel which was called Summer Rain. Do you know what was the rain? It was the fragments of artillary shelling bombs ,flying over the town killing civillians . Alan himself came to my house and lived the experience. I used to watch from a hole in the wall ,seeing the explosion before the sound come near. I was able to hear the buzzing sound of a flying fragment to land finally on my roof!!
What can say Amy! I can't sing " Those were the days my friend"
