Today David and I used a mix of Spanish and English to communicate a number of things and set the expectations for the year.

We discussed his current understanding of and comfort level with Spanish. We discussed his current level of investment in the language and preferences for different learning tools. He seems motivated to learn the language.

We explored the books we will be using and made some notecards from the vocabulary used today.

David did an excellent job of focusing on the Spanish words that he did know during our conversation and combined that with context clues to understand what was being communicated.
