On Monday after my unsuccesfull attemp to teach my class, I went to Abdullahs for sessions of tutoring and conversation. I asked him how his eye exam went and he said it was good. We then went into a speaking exercise I prepared having to do with P's and B's. I started by explaining to him how much trouble I have differenciating the two diffeent H sounds in Arabic and that it will take a lot of practice to get it right. I started about with giving him ten words, five B's and five P's. I then told him to right down the letter he thought it was. He did pretty good when I said the word slow, but I tried the same exercise speaking at normal speeds and he had some difficulty. He asked if I had an idea of how he can learn it faster and I said just keep on practicing. I then did a speaking excercise asking him for directions to particular places. This ended up being fun and productive. I told him to take his time and try his hardest to use proper grammar. When he made mistakes I took note. I have seen progress in his speech, he was always a great reader and listener.
