Mah Eleanor

Mah is an excellent teacher. During our first lesson, we discussed how our upcoming classes would focus on practicing the IELTS Academic writing and speaking and go from there. She was very clear, supportive, and helpful in explaining the plan, which made the lesson feel well organized and encouraging. Looking forward to our next class together.

She asked me good and different questions. I liked it :)

We had a good conversation where I got practice speaking and listening. I'm a mini-stroke survivor but before my strokes I had random difficulty with verbal communication and listening. She showed me her home cooked stew and we talked about organic food and outdoor chickens. I told her about my neighbor, Lisa, who has chickens and ducks, dogs and cats, and one pig named Annabella whom I once fed carrots. Lisa gave my mom free organic pasture raised eggs. Mah asked if Lisa lived in a big house and I didn't think so. We talked about cancer and microwave ovens and fast food. Her homework assignment for me at next week's lesson is Korean weddings and I told her I've never been to a wedding in Korea so she said just tell me about weddings that you've been to which are mostly kingdom hall weddings. I have been to only one non-Jehovah's wedding a long time ago and it was to a couple named Becca and Scott. I was maid of honor once to a couple named Tim and Kathy. I wasn't her best friend.

Abbiamo avuto una lezione di speaking. L’insegnante è disponibile, gentile e preparata.

a great teacher

She showed me her daughter's iPad. She is only five years old and already in first grade. We had technical difficulty and moved the lesson over to Zoom. Mah Eleanor lives a ten minute walk from church which holds mass three times on Sunday. She attends the 8:30 am mass. Mah actually grew up Protestant but attends Roman Catholic church now. We talked about bribery in Cameroon and I told her Jehovah's Witnesses aren't supposed to bribe anyone. I have never been guilty of that but I have been guilty of breaking copyright law. I told her on Sunday mornings my parents and I usually do our meetings via Zoom instead of traveling to our local kingdom hall. She asked how we go there and I replied that we drive there and that I've only walked to the kingdom hall once. Mah agreed with me that Americans are getting more unhealthier. I forgot to ask her to teach me Moghamo. We talked about music. She likes African music and sent me the name of a song she likes by Alfred Kwende.
