He's special but I'm not exactly sure why - maybe some form of autism? Anyways, he's incredibly smart with languages and it's been quite entertaining learning from him. Timothy's grandmother is the caretaker of the guesthouse where I am staying (a guesthouse is like a massive bed and breakfast) and that's the reason he is around regularly.Learning another language can be tiring and almost embarrassing, as you struggle to pronounce a single word for the 10th time, and the adult looks at you, like 'seriously? why can't you get it? are you retarded?'. But because he's different, there's no judgement. I think he's my favourite teacher yet : )

Hey is Danielle reading your blog while at work? Awesome!
One of these days, I'll finally succeed in having you banish "retarded" from your vocabulary.
Until then...
Have fun!
What is in that little critter's back pocket?
ReplyDeleteIt's a chipmunk, Timothy, which he is obsessed with. It's so cute : )
ReplyDeleteA Chipmunk! That is awesome! I thought it was a hamster with teeth. It looked like the hamster from Kim possible.

Did Timothy name the chipmunk after himself? Is the chipmunk named Timothy too?
