A Very Czech-y Day

Today I realized just how valuable accent-less English is.

This afternoon I went to a meet a high school student who I am going to be tutoring in English. Sarah is the daughter of Zuzana’s friend and is trying to transfer to an English-speaking high school so she can go to Harvard like her brother. She is a very smart Czech cookie and we’re going to practice reading comprehension and such every Thursday in her fancy family flat. And I get paid in apple cake and krowns. Bam!

After meeting Sarah, I went to meet up with some friends who just happen to be Czech military officers. To backtrack, last week I randomly met Carl, a Czech air force IT specialist in a pub. He told us about an intensive English class he is taking with a bunch of other military officers. Then he facebooked my friend and invited us to a party tonight. 5 American girls to practice English with- what could be better!

So English is a marketable skill, but no one will practice Czech with me…
