I met Tianfeng again at the public library. We talked a little bit about his classes and and upcoming trip he is taking. A friend and his son is visiting from China and they are taking their kids to Key West and Legoland. During the conversation I noticed that Tianfeng was not pronuncing his "S" in the middle of words such as "university" and "usually". I brought it to his attention and then we started the pronunciation lesson. We worked on the differences between the vowels in words such as "feet" and "fit" and "pen " and "pain". The "e" and "ai" sounds he was able to clearly pronounce but the "ee" and "i" sounds he really struggled with.
