Rose

Today was a good lesson focused on grammar. Rose started the lesson with a little quiz to test my knowledge on connecting words; then we focused on studying grammar in Tagalog - being able to distinguish different types of sentences. Got to do a lot of speaking to help with my pronunciation more and increase my vocab! 😊

Really enjoyed today's session. We had a spelling-bee style session where Rose gave me words that I had to try and spell. Which was a fun way of learning new vocab. Then for the final part of the class, Rose would say complete sentences for me to write and then try and translate. This was such a great way for me to practice my listening and spelling skills. Looking forward to tomorrow's session where we'll be working on pronunciation 😁

Another great session with Rose. We had more of a casual conversation where I could practice my listening skills more so I could become more comfortable hearing everything and understanding in real time. I always enjoy the casual-style conversations. The questions Rose asks always get me to think creatively, which pushes me into learning new vocab. And it pushes me to speak more so I can become more comfortable with my pronunciation. Looking forward to resuming our regular sessions soon! 😁

This was such a fun lesson. Rose tested me with some tongue-twisters to help me with my pronunciation. I think it's such a fun approach! I had lots of fun trying to say the different tongue-twisters. Definitely going to keep practicing them for our next session! 😁

Rose was super patient with me today! I was experiencing some technical issues entering the classroom on my phone, so we ended up doing audio only (which was great at helping me focus more on my listening skills) and my brain just wasn't in it today, so I was struggling a lot. But Rose is always patient and encouraging, reassuring that I'm in no rush. Once I'm able to finally attempt a response, she then helps correct me and types out the sentence for me to read out loud a few times too. Thank you so much for your extra patience with me today!

She is really lovely and helpful. Very interesting conversation.
