Session Summary:
Leif did really well today, especially considering the family crisis with his cat, Jezebel, he was going through right then. We tackled our ongoing translation exercise in French, on which Leif did just fine. It continues to boggle my mind his past instructor in French concentrated so much on conjugation of verbs without actually providing Leif and his classmates any verbs to actually conjugate!! Leif told me he's just as frustrated. Today, he actually shared with me that he feels he's learned more about the French language and how to use it in the last two weeks with me than he did in the entire three *years* with that instructor. That's pretty sad. We then continued the grammatical justification exercise that concerns the perfect system of Latin verbs, and Leif demonstrated a strong command of this material. Thanks so much, Leif, for your hard, fine work today, and I am sorry about Jezebel. I'm sure you're going to miss her.
