We finished the class on a high note. We did the review exercise at the end everyone did an excellent job with the Answer plus activity. One question usually lead to a good discussion with a lot of follow-up questions. This class has made a lot of progress and I think the people moving up to Step 3 will do okay, but they will find it difficult at first. The people staying in Step 2 will be ready for Step 3 next year if they keeping studying like they did this year.
Zenta made it back for tonight's class. I really thought it was only going to be Yuko and I. I wonder how Masami's party went.
As I knew there was only going to be a few people I decided to use an audiobook to see how difficult it would be for people. I think books on tape are pretty popular now and here is an article about the pros and cons. If you would like to order some there are many sites available, but you can go to the Amazon site and find something you like.
Both Zenta and Yuko did well with the tape, but to catch all the details it would require listening to parts repeatedly. I will have put these out in the tape library if you want to listen to them at home. Please add a comment 9:53:39 AM
