André Accioly, Momo's Pizza, 10/30/15
During our second tutoring session together we highlighted some of the sounds that André seeks to improve when speaking. I pronounced the syllables slowly using vocabulary words that exhibited these sounds and had him repeat after me. We also allotted time for conversation using a higher level academic theme and then transitioned to more informal conversation. The first half of the conversation focused on the current political situation in Brazil as well as André's opinion on the solutions. During the second half of the conversation I asked André to describe to me his favorite city that he's visited (Paris) and then tell me a story about his favorite vacation (a trip to a private beach in northern Brazil). He did not hesitate as frequently when trying to communicate his thoughts however on a couple of occasions he asked me the English translations of a few words in Portuguese.
