Yesterday in class Saja and I worked on her mistakes from
her midterm exam. I helped her with grammar mostly such as present progressive
and prepositions. We also worked on new vocabulary. They recently started the chapter
on dairy products. I think Saja is becoming more comfortable with me as she
smiles more often and asks more questions when she does not understand rather
than just nod and smile. We also did a quick activity on what we ate for lunch
yesterday vs. what we usually eat for breakfast on a regular day. I told her I
usually eat cereal for breakfast. She asked me cereal was and it was really
hard to describe it without saying it’s like rice with milk. I started naming
off a few American products hoping that she might recognize some brands but no
luck. At the end of class Saja gave her “friend” presentation to Leslie and me.
Once the guys left the classroom it was amazing in the change of confidence I
saw. I find I have to ask to her to repeat phrases many times simply because
she is so soft spoken.
