My Seventh Lesson With Lloyd
Last night I had my lesson with Lloyd. He was always helpful and offered to start the session earlier than scheduled as much as he could. So I think he loves teaching English, he enjoys it. I can feel it, really! I learned a new useful phrase 'speech crutch', which help you organize your sentence and give you time to think when you need pause. Probably the most used speech crutch is 'You know', 'well' especially for Chinese. My crutch word is, 'right'. I don't know why, but I use this word very often. Well, I use 'You know' and 'Well'' sometimes too. I introduced Chinese 'hotpot' to Lloyd and made him hungry. We had good conversations and I learned about his life. I was kinda surprised to learn that he didn't speak good Philippines even though He was Philippine! He was raised in Canada with his family in his childhood so He is actually a native English speaker living in Philippine.

The language is called Filipino. Maybe I'll try to learn how to speak more of it soon.
