Hi! How are you doing? (another informal way to say "how are you?)

Last week we finished Unit 2 and started Unit 3.

Now you able to give a lot of information about yourself: your name: Michelle, your surname: Barnard your age: I am 20 years old and where you are from: I am from France. You can also spell your surname: B-A-R-N-A-R-D, introduce your friends to another person: Jenni, this is my friend Marie and ask questions to get all that information: What's your name? What's your surname? How do you spell it? or Can you spell it? How old are you? Where are you from?

Last week we  studied some of the possessive pronouns: my, your, his, her, our.
Ex. Our country is Spain. 
We have learned some names of countries and their matching adjective, which we use for the language (not always) and nationality. France/French, Italy/ Italian, Germany/ German, Spain/Spanish, Russian/Russian, etc.

Notice that the adjective or name for a nationality or language is written with a CAPITAL letter: it is Spanish, not spanish. This is important for English speakers.

Last week students practiced plenty of dialogues using the questions mentioned above. They are doing quite well with spelling and with numbers.

Pronunciation: we've contrasted some sounds: /v/ and /b/, /v/ and /w/.

We've practiced pronouncing the sound/ð/ in words such as this, these, there. Students practiced recognizing the difference

 between the words this and these and they were quite successful. We used the classroom

 vocabulary to practice those sounds: we asked question like: What is this? It's a sharpener
and What are these? They are chairs. 

I am sorry, I don't know what's happening with the format of this entry, it has just gone 
crazy.

Homework

Besides what I told you in class, doing the exercises from the book, Unit 3, go to this
