Marco TS#10

Dojun and I had to reschedule due to a work emergency he had. When we did skype we went over pronunciation, mainly the difference between "r" and "l". I showed him the "Friends" video we saw in class where Chandler and Phoebe go to buy a ring and I had him describe what was happening to me. This video was actually very useful due to words like "haggle", "marry", "ring", "credit card", "carat", and other such words with L's and R's. After that I had him explain to me what had happened at work and why he had to reschedule the session so I could get him speaking. His proficiency is advanced enough that he is able to use shorthand in conversations but I had to remind him to use complete sentences and avoid vague words like "thing". Finally we went over tongue twisters to help his pronunciation with the R's and L's and I left him with an instructional video on how to pronounce them.
