Come to Jesus

Duration-  1:08:32
 
Session Activity- Compare bible Verse translations
 
Item Produced- Translation of Psalm 1:1, list of Biblical terms
 
Summary-  I prepared a bible verse we decided upon last session, He translated, and then we compared notes
 
Linguistic Effective- Writing the scripture before hand and then seeing his translation helped me better comprehend the grammatical errors I made
 
Linguistic Ineffective- I am finding it hard to understand when he is talking. He is talking relly fast and I feel like lately I am at a lost for the alphabet I created.
 
Linguistic Provisional Improvements-  This isn't in the books, but religious recitations is a good exercise. I feel like this activity should belong in section three. Its like I want to hop to the section three activities without completing challenge two. Its difficult for my speaker and me to do the second challenge. We have been working at it for months. We are getting discouraged Maybe we should read the book again and stop making up exercises :P
 
Cultural Effective- Bringing up religious documents helped us get jargon for the religious terms. Pretty cool terms that  would never otherwise come up in conversation
 
Cultural Ineffective- It did rely a lot on religion, so the words were taught/ remembered not truly culturally relevant (I think)
 
Cultural Provisional Improvements-  None
 
Tomorrow- try and get back to the grammar to get ourselves out of this shitty challenge section
 
Further Comments- I got it all out in linguistic improvements

Net Gain

Session Activity- Ask for information on nets, and an old net maker in our family
 
Item Produced- List of net terms, net making knowledge, and a family tree
 
Summary-  WOW. Learned a lot about the family. Nets began a family discussion (aided by the third person) that dove into some family history in a serious but honest way that had never been approached with before.
 
Linguistic Effective- Coming in with one topic and asking for words on that topic seems to always harvest a good collection
 
Linguistic Ineffective- The family discussion got so serious and complex it switched to English. Our comfort level as a speaking group is rising faster than my speaking ability
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- Warn people about the English creep
 
Cultural Effective- Showing interest and asking questions about the family tree when the speaker showed a willingness to talk about it was the ticket. Having the third party that also knew the history spurned the story forward in parts where it may have been dropped with only one knowledgeable party
 
Cultural Ineffective- I need to provide the user with a more serious family tree structure, If I would have had a more robust diagram, I could have legibly captured much more information.
 
Cultural Provisional Improvements-  This third speaker is alright, I need to address this part of the third speaker issue. Up the game on genealogy diagrams!
 
Tomorrow-
