Practicing English

I have been helping Paola and Alejandro with their English homework for the past three nights. Paola had to practice for her presentation on Scotland. In her presentation she needed to pronounce really large numbers (the population of Scotland is 5, 116,900 and the area it covers is 79,772 sq. km...in case you were wondering) Alejandro needed help with studying irregular verbs. I pronounce the verbs for him and he repeats.

Trying to explain what the past participle in English was as opposed to the simple past tense was really difficult. However I was able to explain it to him in Spanish and spoke without stuttering a lot! I WAS SO PROUD! I smiled to myself once I realized that I can actually carry a pretty good conversation in Spanish! :)

I love helping them with their homework. Helping them makes me so excited to be a teacher and so much more confident with my Spanish skills.
