Sick

Duration-  0:51:04

Session Activity- Shot the breeze

Item Produced- Recipe for cold remedy, Phrase translation, Whiskey cocktail recipes

Summary-  I was sick and not about it. It was a lame session

Linguistic Effective- The phrase was interesting, albeit short

Linguistic Ineffective- I came with the idea to play a word game between rhyming syllables to make words. Speaker totally was not about it

Linguistic Provisional Improvements- That game was not well explained because it was not well defined. It would need alto of structure to work, and I don’t think it is a fun game anyway. But….with the right speaker it could work…right?

Cultural Effective- Being generally miserably sick I did get a cool recipe for a cold remedy- figs, honey and lemon. Sounded delicious. I also got some good whiskey drink cocktail mixes

Cultural Ineffective- Totally wasn’t a good listener or anything today.

Cultural Provisional Improvements-  Asking for drink recipes was fruitful, maybe do that again?

Tomorrow- Not be sick. Plan an actual lesson instead of being lazy and trying to make a plan on the drive to his house

Further Comments- I am finding that it is not enough to just go once a week and do this. I feel like in order to make progress I will also need to do some of this on my own. I find just by listening to french music or doing something french during the week keeps me fresh and makes it easier to listen on Wednesday nights to my speaker. Ill make a playlist...
