OPIc stands for Oral Proficiency Interview-computer, which is what I have been learning to rate over the past couple days in White Plains, NY. I flew out Sunday and attended training on Monday and Tuesday at the LTI office (Language Testing International) in White Plains, about 45 min. north of NYC. All of the training and travel were paid for by LTI so it was a great opportunity for me. LTI/ACTFL has contracts with some Korean companies (like Samsung) to test their employees' English speaking proficiency, so all of the tests that I listened to during the training were of Koreans speaking En-gueuh-lish-ee. It was great! :) My training class had about 15 other people in it, so I got to know a few folks. There were two ladies from Cornell who have worked with Mormons before and who would love to recruit some more to come teach ESL there! :) Now I'm back home. Duncan worked so hard around the house while I was gone. He's so good to me!!

David laughed at the Korean pronunciation of English. Sounds like fun. Did you have any time to visit parts of NY? Carson has mentioned that he would love to visit the Sacred Grove.
This sounds like fun. Also on my list of things to do one of these days....
Still OPI-ing it these days, huh?If you ever have to go out to White Plains again, let us know. That's just a hop and a skip from our home in Manhattan. We would love to see you.
