Woke up early tired from the jam packed visit of the Entwine group. On our way driving towards school and through Gondar this morning I saw a young boy sticking out his neck, his cow mimicking him, and their lips puckered to kiss. It was the greatest scene and one of those mental pictures I hope I never forget.
Max developed a lesson plan to work with the kids on their pronunciation. He was piggybacking from our past tense lesson last week. The kids have a hard time pronouncing "th" in the middle of a word, it comes out as "z". So, breathe, was a challenge and Max uses examples to show the importance of mispronunciation like, "it's hard to breeze in here". I wish I could show you the look on the kid's face when Max makes a joke. He makes them smile and it's a genuine, behind closed doors, they think nobody is watching because they are so wrapped up in his every word, kind of smile. Melts my heart.
