Every weekday we have two English classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We also have English mass at 10:30 a.m. It has been warm the last few days (up to almost 100), so we have class inside.
Part of the test they take to get into the seminary is English, and the most difficult part is verbs. We are continuing to work on verbs like we did when the Serra students were here, this time looking at active and passive voice.
While some work hard, Quang and Quyen relax and discuss the finer points of the future conditional.
I have to say that I am proud to see Thanh in an American flag t-shirt.
Yes, those are flash cards. Each student practices with them like back at Serra. They never go out of style in education because they really work.
In the summers I spend time with my good friends in Phat Diem, Vietnam, a small country village with a world famous cathedral. Here are some of my musings. If you would like to correspond, please email me: garymeegan@gmail.com.
