Assane and Aiicha
Assane, the man in charge of the Derkle center’s English classes, is very interesting. His English is pretty good, but he could use some practice too! He’s very dedicated to what he does and has been very appreciative of my time and excited to have me at the center. He’s clearly very proud of his work and is interested in teaching theory, improving the program, and learning new things — as evidenced by him handing me the reigns the first day. We’re becoming fast friends.
Aiicha is my age or a little younger and is probably the best English student in the program. She’s a fast learner and very dedicated and invested in what’s going on. She particularly liked my lesson today and walked me all the way home to SC3 afterwards so we could keep talking. She’s generous, worldly, and very smart. We’re becoming fast friends too.
