NALC Meeting 7

On November 22, I was able to tutor from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Nashville location with a young woman from outside the United States. What was unique about her was her pronunciations because she grew up in a French speaking area. She understood what she was reading very well so the main concern was with her accent, particularly with not placing the "w" sound in for "s" or "t" sounds. It was very unique because when I was listening to her and watching her mouth move, I could see adjustments that she could make in order to help her pronunciation. She was a very fast learner because she understood the terms and concepts behind them as we were going through the material. Her suffixes were mostly understood besides some unique and rare words. Luckily we were able to use words that she struggled with to form new words that were hadn't seen in the book in order to give her more diversity in what she was learning. She was very receptive and motivated to learn, it was a great session.
