A French boy learning English
Bonjour and hello!
How’s going ? I’ve been working as an English
private teacher for more than a week,
As my students came back from their summer
holidays. One of them is a young French boy
with beautiful and kind bleu eyes.
He lives in a beautiful house almost like a castle
or a manoir. And of course his room is nice and
big with modern style furniture.
I don’t know how many collection cars he has.
Today after having worked on English grammer,
I started to make a conversation in English with him
showing some photos I took in Koyasan in Japan
many years ago.
While I was explaining about a beautiful Japanese
Garden in a temple, my young student looked back
Toward the window. As I asked to him,
“ What happened ?”
He answered me, “ My mother come back”, you know,
In English.
That made me very happy. Maybe he should have
Said as “ My mother has just come back.” With Present Perfect.
Or “She’s arrived.” Or
“Oh, it’s my mother coming back”…etc.
What is essential is that he was trying to follow
me in English and so it was natural for him to
speak in Englsih. That made me really happy,
because a few days ago when I met him for the first
time, he seemed not to be sure about his Englsih.
I’m also happy with one of my other students also,
43-year-old nice French lady started to learn English
from almost scratch and she’s been working hard
with CD and a book that I recommended for her.
I hope I can help her making progress on English
really.
Have a nice week ! And please take care.
