Teacher 09/98 - 11/98

Having finished exhausting training on their
particular mnemonic method, tried to suggest some modifications on it,
considering it seemed rather ineffective. As a beginner teacher, I didn’t have
much to say though. This surely contributed towards my searching for a new and
more efficient method and for since then trying to identify general rules and
structures of the language so as to make its study easier, faster and more
permanent.
