Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We read some words to practice the vowels. Tamilselvi made sure that I understood the words and had good pronunciation. After that, we reviewed the spoken Tamil with different verbs and pronouns. Seeing the verbs and pronouns together in sentences was very helpful!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We learned about how to spell and write more words, and read a paragraph about "grandma takes the kids for tea". We also reviewed the verbs that we learned in the last lesson. Tamilselvi did a great job of mixing new material with reviewing!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We continued with reading and writing, learning more useful words. Tamilselvi quizzed me to make sentences using "to have" and the different forms, which was good practice. We also started learning about "did not". Tamilselvi did a nice job of checking in to see if I had anything I wanted to change or emphasize, which I appreciated!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We did some writing practice, then read some sentences. After that, we moved to speaking practice where we practiced "with" and learned several new verbs. Tamilselvi did a great job of helping me sound out the words and pointed out how the written form of some words is different from the spoken form!
