Well we did it. We finished our two-week intensive session. They did wonderfully. I appreciate the help you all gave.
They were very enthusiastic and motivated. We focused on specific target language and feel they got it down very well. They were pretty beat at the end of the 13 days poor guys.
I don't know if they are on this forum. I asked them to sign up but am not sure if they did. I showed them the responses on this thread more than once.
Bounce'em all, I turned your response regarding feathering the props into a lesson. We broke down the langugae and worked on pronunciation and stress patterns with consonant/vowel sequences. They were very appreciative, as I am.
They gave me a book from the academy, a "yearbook" of sorts and signed it for me.
Take care and keep cool,
PE
