I would like to confirm with Elder Hall: in the beginning, is this sitcom about a “liar” who was a layer and his Spanish study group? Not only the lines are fast, but also the plot go quickly and jump to next scene. I have to say there is no time to think what happened and it happened in this sitcom.

Suggestions for teaching children English From online tutor Pia

1. Don’t tell them the answer directly. Let them think and discuss. 2. Don’t have to finish all vocabulary in one class. You can let them guess the meaning and discuss it more in English. For example, bakery, what kine of place bakery means do you think? It is selling bread! Great! How to say bread in English? 3. Establish classroom English and connect action and words. 4. This material is easier than Philippine's. It’s not 5 grader’s level. It maybe 2-3 grade in Philippine. 5. We can pronounce the words and let the students to guess how to spell it.
