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

Group talk
Duration- 1:15:00
Session Activity- Chat as a group and swap stories of the week
Item Produced- Practice with a monologue, bible verse translation, semantic puzzle between two types of movement
Summary- Another speaker and learner joined in this session. Always great for moral, and bad for progress. We swapped stories, translated a bible verse, and had some interesting history of washing machines, and a good semantic puzzle between "Grouille" and "change"
Linguistic Effective- The conversation about the semantics of movement was super cool. Everyone seems interested to tolerant of the discussion. Translating bible verses went really well!
Linguistic Ineffective- This idea of semantic questioning needs to be put in! these were great. It should be discussed earlier how to add these in and test them when they come up
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- Add semantic test into section 1! Add bible verse exercise to chapter 2
Cultural Effective- Having the whole group together is great.. On occasion. It makes for a special session that is a surprise and always ends positive
Cultural Ineffective- One learner tried to google stuff. People were also not as used to being in the conversation because they are not in it a lot. They seemed a bit uncomfortable win the whole french, but more of an awe than a discomfort
Cultural Provisional Improvements- There needs to be more concern given to guests.
Tomorrow- we came up with the homework of writing out a scripture in french and bringing it in next time we go
Further Comments- Great session. This is the time where I will start updating my notes again. Notes 26-17 began migration on this day.

Family Circle
Session Activity- Sit around and talk because of the abnormally large group
Item Produced- Good conversation, skill test, vocab
Summary- Four people showed up today, it was a large group with differing levels. We had a successful conversation in English intermixed with french (two learners, two speakers
Linguistic Effective- We got a few vocab words, but not more
Linguistic Ineffective- We didn’t achieve enough linguistically to even say there was something we sucked at
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- I don’t think this is a bad thing, this break was brought on by circumstances and necessary. Maybe highlight that
Cultural Effective- Hanging out with different levels of speakers/learners was very good for the confidence of both the speaker and learners. It became a moral check in point to show off what everyone had learned, but it also was a uniting force to see that there was a supporting community beyond the two regulars.
Cultural Ineffective- Because of the different speaker levels, there was not great cultural insight
Cultural Provisional Improvements- Write a section on how to deal with when this happens- maybe thinking of topics to provide in situations like this that would help the conversation be linguistically productive even if there is a large unorganized mass of people

Inefficient
Session Activity- Get vocab for You are my Sunshine, talk about stuff
Item Produced- missing words to begin composing the second verse of you are my sunshine

Linguistic Effective- we got a few words
Linguistic Ineffective- not a lot
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- this seems like something I didn’t prepare for and just went hang out. Write a warning that this result happens when you do this
Cultural Effective- not much
Cultural Ineffective- not much
