Jose and I met last night for our weekly tutoring session in the Kellogg Building. I had heard from some of his friends that he prefers to be called Neto. Therefore, I will refer to him as such from here on out. Neto exceeded my expectations for his ongoing vocabulary assignment. Instead of the usual five that I requested of him, he wrote down fifteen!! I was so proud. We spent most of the time going over the vocabulary. He had so many questions! Using his vocabulary, we worked on pronunciation, parts of speech, conjugations, and simple sentence structures. I noticed that he has problems pronouncing the “r” sound, of which he pronounces like an “h”. Subsequently, I wrote a list of words that begin with an “r”, and had him pronounce them. We reviewed these words at the end of the session as well. Also towards the end of the session, I gave Neto lists of food items with their pictures. We went over their pronunciations. For some of the items, Neto wasn’t sure what they were. I tried giving him examples of dishes that the items could be used in, but sometimes that confused him even more!! For those moments, google image search came to rescue!
