I play the guitar a little. My dad's teaching me. I learned a little recorder at my primary school (we all did that) and I'e tried to lear penny whistle from my mum, but she's a useless teacher and I always get the feeling she's annoyed at me when I don't instantly get it. My dad's much more patient, and I like to be able to play an instrument I can sing with. Even if the only person I'm confident enough to sing in front of is my sister XP
My french teacher is epic, definately the best in the school. She uses all sorts of games to teach us and when the boys are disruptive in lessons she thinks of all sorts of creative punishments XD Once she went on strike cause we were being so noisy and the next lesson we had to go and ask her nicely to come back.
She has a reward system where for everything good we do we get a raffle ticket which we write our name on the back of, and at the end of the week we have a draw and she goes into town and buys a french food item of choice for the winner :3
