Today was Day 1 of our e-learning. Sebastian and I reviewed greeting one another, both formally and informally,in French. After he introduced me to Argento, his Persian cat, and providing me with background information about his other cats, we went over greeting basics. First, we broke down the word "bon/jour," or good/day. Sebastian remembered that 'bon' means good, and after we broke down the word, Sebastian correctly made a connection to the prefix of the word and was able to transfer this learning by offering another comparative example of the prefix 'bon.' He correctly attached it to the word 'appetite,' and understood that phrase translated to 'good appetite.' He then went on the Duo Lingo app for a few minutes and attempted to share the screen with me. He was reminded that it is more important for him to answer reflectively and that it is not a race. He was encouraged to slow down his response time as he made an error only due to his desire to maximize his his response time. Next, we discussed how there is a formal and informal way to converse in French. There is a polite way, where the language changes a little if talking to someone you don't know well, and there is informal language, used when conversing with a friend. We reviewed ways to say, 'How are you?' both formal and informal. Sebastian was encouraged to repeat the phrases after me. We then reviewed how to repond both formal and informally to the inquiry with the response, "Yes, thank you, I am fine, and you?" We finished up the lesson reviewing alternate ways by which to reply to the inquiry. These alternative responses will be reviewed in a subsequent session in efforts to reinforce and consolidate emergent gains.
