Another very quick post for WOYWW
One of the bonuses of working from home is that you can be spontaneous, so today I am taking my student out for his English lesson! We will go to a garden centre where he can help me choose plants then we are going to a local garden to do some activities in the sunshine then we will come home and after lunch he can help me plant my tubs! It's called 'Functional English'
If you want to see some more crafty desks, head over to the stamping ground for a quick nosey!
Quick before the sun goes in
Have a great tie choosing plants , happy crafting or should i really say happy planting today , jill #52

Wow! You were super speedy in commenting today Mrs. M! You chose the right day to do the panting, we're supposed to get more rain tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThat should, of course, have been 'planting' and not 'panting'!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've enjoyed the day of 'functional English'. Thanks for sharing your workspace with us. Hope you have a good week. Hazel WOYWW #87 x
ReplyDeleteLOLOL - functional English!! He can come and practise his english at my place...this is the hoover, where is the duster? etc etc! Do you think he'd like that????
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #72 xx
That sounds like lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfectly feasible to me and much more um.. can't think of the word but when the information goes in better because you are using it in the situation? Immersion? I hope he now knows the English for "slug"!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous way of learning!

ReplyDeleteBUT, can I get a student to learn housework phrases? I have an english speaking student in the house who genuinely seems astonished by such words!! Marvellous post , and the one aboutnwhy you love your job...my, what an interesting life youve led!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really have had a varied life so far and, according to my 11 year old, I'm only half way through it. Mind you he did say it's all downhill from here on in!
DeleteSounds like fun English to me. Schooling outside is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my desk and I agree I am turning into my mum, glasses and all!
