We spent some time talking about our weekend and then worked on vocabulary and grammar exercises relating to the video on Emotions we watched last week. Joshua was engaged and did very well!

Joshua watched an Easy German video on the topic of emotions, and we addressed the vocabulary and briefly discussed the individual emotions as they related to our lives. We will work on related exercises next week.

our time clashed with an event Joshua wanted to attend.

We shared about our winter break and issues with technology, as we both have new laptops. I had suggested to start working in a chapter from a B1 textbook, but Joshua expressed a strong preference for the Easy German videos he had worked with before. It is more of a unit study approach, since I have vocabulary lists and accompanying exercises for each video. We discussed all this in German, and Joshua expressed himself well.

We started late, because Joshua was confused about the schedule.
We spent the remaining time talking about typical Christmas traditions in Germany.

After our broad review of A2 level skills, Joshua started to review the perfect tense, particularly the use of the auxiliary verb 'sein' with certain verbs. He completed a few different exercises.
We also spent some time conversing about the past weekend.

We start out with a short conversation about our weekend plans and minor challenges with technology. Joshua then completed the A2 evaluation we started yesterday. He did very well. We reviewed the use of the auxiliary verbs with the perfect tense and I have copied a few practice exercises into our Google file.

we started out talking about Joshua's college applications and plans for Christmas and the break. Joshua completed half on an online A2-level 'test' that will help reveal areas we should review and practice from this level bevor moving into B1. He did very well in both conversation and the test questions.
