My first week in Prague ist vorbei and I thought I would take a moment to reflect on some first adventures. I devoted the first few days to setting up class observations and interviews with James Cook Languages here in Prague. I also went to the Prague Castle and many, many initial attractions.
The Czech Republic reminds me so much of Germany–and to boot I have used more German here than English! It is nice to see so many German speakers, especially as I am preparing for the DSH exam, which I will take in September.
The only bout of travel bad luck that I got coming to Prague was a misplaced travel power converter! Thankfully, I found an electronics store so that I could get a new one for Malaysia and Japan.
Research-wise, aside from the meetings I had last week, my first two observations take place today. I will continue to have observations every day until Friday. In addition, I have two interviews scheduled for this week. The last of my online observations for Spain I finish tomorrow morning.
