Out of Egypt-Session 4

Yesterday I had my fourth session with the Egyptian couple at the library. I made up my mind to take several steps back, and it was a good thing! I didn't realize how difficult it is for them to remember vocabulary words that I've taught them previously...so we walked around the library (all 3 floors), and pointed to different objects. I asked them if they knew 'what this is...' most of the time, they couldn't tell me. But sometimes they could.
For example, it's simple and basic to know what a trash can is, but they hesitated a lot, garbage? basket garbage? trash? That's okay to hesitate, but I hoped they would say it with confidence. I made sure to use the 7 time rule, and repeated vocab....stairs. we are walking down the stairs, we are going up the stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs....

Elevator. Map. Plug. Keyboard. These are all vocab words that stuck for either one of them. They did okay, and I think they now got a hold of certain words. But they need more training...until next time.
