Introductions of the teachers, their backgrounds, the background of how the school came to be, and a general overview of the whole 2-week course.
When it came time to introduce ourselves, which I admit, had me a little queazy in anticipation, they had us do it in a unique way. We had to pair up with the person we were sitting next to and interview each other for about 15 minutes, after which time we had to stand in front of the class at the microphone and introduce that person to the group, telling what we learned about them.
It actually was a little easier than talking about oneself.
We then learned about the different types of tour director jobs and how they differ and finally we ended the session with a wine tasting. Evidently tour directors need to know about these things so they can recommend wines to their tour groups. I think I'm gonna like this job!
After class the group of 35 split into smaller groups and went to dinner/sightseeing or whatever they needed or wanted to do. I went to dinner with five people. They were from SC, MI, WI, DC, WA. There is wide range of states and Canada represented in the class and the age range is 21 to 60's (9 people in their 60's). So the "fitting in" issue is resolved. I'm still working on the "sleeping more than 4 hours" issue.
I have homework reading to do so I will say Hai, God nat, Goeienacht, Gute Nacht, Buonoa Notte, Iyi geceler, Lala khale and good night.
The first person who can name all the languages I just said "good night" in will receive a San Francisco souvenir.

The hardest thing to do is speak about oneself in front of their peers. This used to give me endless amounts of diarhea! Sounds like a great first day!! How did the apples go over?

the ninth one is Moiska boyda boyta loina: also can mean "good night" in an up coming language, it can also mean several other things according to the way it is phrased & hyphenated, very important where the cap's are used.
Funny, that introduce the other person is something we do in elementary also. Everyone always feels better talking about someone else. Sound like a lot of work but fun. Not even trying with the language thing. By the way...this is Annette one of Chrissy's friend...
