Hello USA! Class #2

Today's class had several more people. Pastor Gie Dor was the only male in the class. One of the female students has a very good grasp of English and was able to help out in some of the cultural portions of class. All in all, it went very well.

Since most of the class had not attended last week, the handout review became the basis for the lesson. They seemed to enjoy seeing the vocabulary and grammar patterns in writing. The students took copious notes. They are surely an enjoyable group with a great desire to learn this new language.

Today's Bible verse [1 John 4:19] emphasizes the role God plays in our life on earth. I went on to introduce the days of the week and months of the year. We practiced yesterday, today and tomorrow; and this month, last and next month. The pronunciation contrasts need more work on my part as it is difficult to find known vocabulary that fit a sound pattern.
