Word-of-the-Week Wednesday-Sensei!

Hello GLN Community!  Those of you who have signed up, have you started your language classes yet?  I, and several fellow students, have.  In addition to greetings and pleasantries, we learned a word, which is very important in a classroom, sensei [pronounced as it is written].  In Japanese, it means teacher.  To meet one outstanding GLN sensei, look no further than yesterday’s blog post:  GLN Blog Post: Tuesday, 6/5/2012.  For more information about GLN teachers, go to https://thegln.org/teach/meet-our-teachers.
