Hi Kelsey, I'm so excited!

Today's my first day at school.

This is it.

Everything I worked so hard for in the last three months.

It feels like a dream.

What an adventure.

Here I go.

I can do this.

Phone down. Eat your breakfast.

Listen to your mother!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Maybe you can talk with Ms. Ludmila?

He can't stay with us for 2 years.

You know there is no talking to Miss Ludmila once she's made up her mind.

You are lucky! This is my favorite.

But only for special days.

Ana! - Mama!

Put your plate in the sink and get ready. We leave in five.

There's no meat in this, right?

I hope there's no meat this time.

Don't worry, no meat.

Charcoal.

- Maybe it's the water? - Sure, that must be it.

Maybe we should buy bottled water for him?

Why is everyone staring at me?

Don't worry. They want to see the American.

They've never seen a foreigner before?

Come on.

You should be happy. You're very popular.

I'd hate to see unpopular.

Let's go.

Glad to meet you Director.

My name is Diego.

I am the English teacher.

Diego...

That is the Shop teacher.

This is the Director, Ms. Ludmila.

Pardon me.

Peace Corps gave me all the information, but I left it on the bus.

Welcome to our beautiful school.

We are happy to have you here.

His Romanian is awful.

The Peace Corps didn't teach him a thing.

Lucia will teach him Romanian.

Lucia? - Is there a problem?

Ah, no...

Now you go to teach. You understand?

Show him to his classroom and get him settled.

Will check on him later. Yes...

I hope there won't be any problems with you.

I think we made a good choice. Yes?

Now go...

I'll leave you now.

You're not coming in?

Ms. Ludmila has some important business for me.

You will be fine.

Hello Class!

My name is Mister Diego.

I'll be your new English teacher.

I'm from the United States.

From Texas...

Welcome to English!

Yes?

Mister Diego, I do not think that anyone understands you.

What do you mean?

Well, our English teacher used to be Mister Victor, but...

He could never teach for long.

I think that he was nervous or something.

And then our last teacher migrated to Ireland halfway through the year.

Miss Lucia taught us from the book, but she does not speak English.

Teacher's pet.

What's your name?

Yana. - Yana, thank you.

How is it you understand me?

Well, my father made me go to extra lessons.

Ah, I see...

Well, okay...

Welcome...

to...

Eng...

Toilet?

Of course it is.

Why can't you be a normal kid? Leave Tupac alone.

You think I'm not normal? You leave me alone.

Mister Diego, are you okay?

I'm fine. Go back to class please.

The Director!

Yana! The Director!

God... Go back to class, damn it!

What did he say?

I think it's worse then we thought.

Victor?

Is that you?

You need some help?

Do you have any toilet paper?

- Why didn't he use the teachers' toilet? - I don't know.

Are you okay?

Mister Diego...

Where is your class?

They're in the classroom. I was only gone for a minute.

We'll check that later.

Right now I want to introduce you to Lucia, my deputy...

And from now on - your Romanian teacher.

She say...

Nice to meet you Lucia.

You are beautiful like a tongue.

What did he say?

I think he wanted to say that she's beautiful like the Romanian language.

Yes, but why didn't he just say so?

Mister Diego, are those your kids hiding around the corner?

Yes, I've learned a lot of Romanian.

She said that your class is hiding over there.

Mister Diego control your class.

You must be strict. They sense fear.

Show them who's the boss.

Go!

Hey you kids...

Stop there!

I don't get it.

Why are you laughing?

You're the one who has to teach him Romanian.

Hi Kelsey.

I had my first day of classes today.

And it was great!

The kids in my class were so smart.

And now they love English.

I couldn't get them to stop talking.

And the Director, she's so supportive.

We just got along so well.

Everyone kept talking about my mastery of Romanian.

Ah, my goodness...

It was just like another day in Paradise.

Moldova is so great.

I hope your day was as wonderful as mine.

Good night Kelsey.
