So, this was my last session with Anthony, which was a shame as we get on really well but he doesn't need me any more, he knows what to do, has already improved and will go on improving.
Today we started with me talking about the psychology of acquiring English speaking skills which Anthony seemed to appreciate and then as part of the lesson discussion we both talked about some rather unsettling memories from our childhoods.
I also noticed that he was habitually using the present tense when he should have been using the past tense...listen for his reaction when I point it out. Interesting...it bamboozled his brain for a bit but he got there and if he listens to this clip a few times he will probably adjust naturally.
Finally, at the end he told me an Australian work colleague of his told him recently that he thought Anthony had been born in Australia!
