Potluck Party on Monday!

A potluck is a party that asks all the guests to bring food to share.  Many people have potlucks in the USA -- especially schools, churches, and neighborhood pools.  Please bring something yummy.  If you really don't have the time or money to bring food, don't worry.  Come anyway.

Please don't bring candles (no fire), gifts for the teacher, children, or alcoholic drinks.

Are you going to bring food?  What are you going to bring?

What are you going to do?

wanna = want to

oughta= ought to=visualized ideal (best in my mind)  Everyone ought to use the blog!

June 12 is the LAST DAY for current students to register for Summer Classes.  We'll get students from other locations because our program is only doing summer classes at a few locations.  Please register tomorrow if you want to be in the class.

I plan to teach.  We will probably focus on directions, travel, and getting jobs.  If the majority of students in the Summer class already took class this spring, we will have more opportunities to have conversations.

What does "mean" mean?

I didn't mean to confuse you, but the most difficult thing I gave you today used "mean" as "intend."  That was new for many people.  Claribel pointed out that "mean" means many things.  Here's a video about some of things "mean" means.
