Can you believe it? We've already completed 3/8 of the May ESL course! Today, I wanted to take a moment to share with you my thoughts and feelings as a teaching assistant. Let me just say, these first three lessons have been a breeze! The material is so easy that it almost feels like we're back in kindergarten! But, here's the thing, our teacher has done an amazing job of building a strong foundation for us to take our English skills to the next level. The basic grammar rules and sentence structures we've been practicing are like the building blocks for a towering skyscraper. If we can master these simple sentences and express ourselves fluently, we're already halfway to speaking like a native! From there, we can start to incorporate more complex sentence structures and add in fancy adjectives and adverbs to spice things up. But, if we don't get the basics down pat, we'll never reach our full potential. And let's be honest, speaking is usually where we all struggle the most. We might understand a lot, but when it comes to actually speaking it out loud, we freeze up or stumble over our words. That's why we need to practice these basic sentence patterns every day until they become second nature. With enough practice, we can build a solid foundation for our English skills that we can continue to improve on for years to come! So, let's support each other, brainstorm new ways to practice, and encourage each other to keep going, even when it gets tough. Even practicing just one sentence pattern a week can make a huge difference! What do you say, are you ready to take your English to the next level with me?
