Phonics Practice

2007-03-15T21:40:00.000-07:00

I find that most students use brute memory to recogognise words when reading. Unless the

Taking Care of Apartment Mold

2007-01-22T23:40:00.000-08:00
When a teacher first comes to Korea, it is difficult to see the apartment and to tell the difference between a good apartment and a bad apartment. Quite often a foreigner will be happy to have a large home or just a home of their own. However, what may be lurking in our walls may be far worse than an cockroach infestation and may be one of the common causes of the 'Korean cough.'MOLD!! Indoor air
