Today I met again with Mardioli (7/26/17). We went over adverbs and how they are used to modify a verb. Mardioli says that she has trouble speaking to natives outside of the CIES building. She said that she had a miniature panic attack last weekend when she could not form any words in English. Then I asked her how long she has been practicing English - which she responded with 3 months
3 months.
She went from no concept of how to speak English to being able to create coherent and flowing sentences. I told her what a remarkable feat that was, but she was still unimpressed with herself so we went to work.
I helped her to understand why some sentences she wrote for a writing assignment were incorrect and helped her to stay in the same tense (past or present tense verbs)
All in all, good session
