Who are you?

I've never felt this way in my relationship with my husband, but I've definitely felt it with teenagers...

Who are you?  What's your name?  Where are you from?  Tell me about your job and/or your family.

Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water

Like a bridge over troubled water...

Practice Simple Present with "will"

Who do you turn to when life is difficult?  Who turns to you when life is rough?  How can we comfort friends and ease their worries?

The Start of Something New

Do you like to do new things?  Can you tell me about a time you started something new?  Is there anything new you really want to learn in this class?

Englishman in New York

I don't recommend that you ever say "I'm a legal alien," even if it's true.  It sounds like "illegal alien" which is much more common to hear.  "I have a tourist visa" or "I have a student visa" or "I have a green card" is much more common.

What surprises you about living here?  What cultural habits do you want to keep wherever you go?

Fight Song

Learning English can feel like a real battle.  Celebrate your small wins.  If you learn a new vocabulary word, you win.  If you understand a conversation, you win.  If you understand something today that you couldn't understand yesterday, you win. Tell me about a recent victory.

Gold Star Mother's Day

Some people honor the mothers of military members who died in service today.

Do you have children?  How old are they?  Did you ever serve in the military?  Do you have a family member that has served in the military?  Do you have required military service in your former country?  Is it good to require military service?

Nice to meet you, anyway....

Please describe someone you just met!
