Marcel and I started our session with a medium length Spanish conversation. He did a great job with comprehension. He did a fair job with his responses, but was unable to express himself on one occasion and was happy to let me do most of the speaking. I thought that he did a wonderful job for our first attempt at a conversation of this nature.

He then worked on paragraph summaries for the story that we are reading. He was tasked with writing one or two sentences in English that capture the heart of the paragraphs that we have read up to this point in the story.

He did a great job.

We finished our lesson by translating the chorus of a Spanish song.
