At placement in Umeå
At the moment I'm having placement at Hagaskolan in Umeå, Sweden. I'll be there for a total of 6 weeks, planning lessons and teaching English to 13-year-olds.
Yesterday I prepared 20 English words for my 7th grade students (they're around 13 years old). These are the words they will be tested on next Thursday:
skeleton - skelett
closet - garderob
hide-and-seek - kurragömma
scary - skrämmande
basement - källare
rotten - rutten
janitor - vaktmästare
cleaning - städning
electricity - elektricitet
a couple of - några
doorknob - dörrhandtag
pull - rycka, dra
hinge - gångjärn
cloud - moln
dust - damm
(to) scream - skrika
slumped - hopsjunken
finally - till slut
identify - identifiera
champion - mästare

Cool! I've thought of a way you can decide on posts for the blog; think about when you learnt English, or pretend you're moving here, and decide what words you would need, and the vocabulary you would have to expand for job/transport/eating out. All that kind of stuff. Hope that helps, Erik.

Erik,
thank you for your blog! I am trying to learn the language of my great grandparents, but having difficulty with the pronounciation. On your older blogs you have an MP3 link, which is extremely helpful. I have noticed on the newer blogs that this is missing... please help!
Thank you,
Christina
