I think William is doing great with the verbs so far, just needs to pay more attention to the words stress.

William did a great job today. He remembered all the alphabet well, so it was easy to carry on with new vocabulary!

It was our first session. We covered all the alphabet and learned some comon greetings. I was surprised how well William pronunced the "p" sound, really amazing for the first lesson!

    Culture shock is a normal experience when someone begins feeling overwhelmed by how different things are compared to what they are used to. It is challenging to get past because of how delicate the process is. It is important to continue immersing yourself in the new culture, but maybe do so a little bit at a time. Do not focus on your old culture and start judging the new culture, you will become withdrawn and bitter. Also be sure not to cut yourself off from the new culture, just approach it more gradually. One thing I like to do when I start feeling overwhelmed in a new culture is take some time to listen to some of my favorite music on my iPod; this can be done while riding on the train or in a park or museum, allowing me to continue exploring the exciting new culture while also getting myself to relax. You could also read some of a favorite book before bedtime since you would not normally be out exploring at this time anyways. Finally, always remember that the new culture has different ways of doing things and your role is to learn about them, not figure out which one you like more.

    It means that somebody is at work. It is derived from capitalist societies where it is common for people to be paid a certain amount by the hour (so if you make $5 per hour and work for two hours you make $10). When people are "on the clock" it means that they are being paid to work. This can be used two ways- The first is when someone is on the clock. Employers generally don't want their employees to be socializing or playing games at work and so they may remind their employees that they are on the clock, effectively telling them to get back to work and to play games during their own time. The second is when somebody emphasizes NOT being on the clock. If I am not at work and somebody is asking me to take care of a certain task I may remind him or her that I am not on the clock right now, meaning that I will take care of the task when I am at work, but right now I don't want to be thinking about work related activities since I am not getting paid.

    Do you have people to practice speaking English with?  You might want to consider getting into a book club at your academy and reading books in English, and then discussing the book in English at the meetings.

    Experiment I would like to try an experiment. I attached a file for my notebook today. It has a grid of colors. Select all the main colors of your language. Select the color square on the grid which best represents each color. Then select the squares which are also considered part of the main color. Reply with every color and the range of grid squares that you chose for this color, and which was the best square for each color. Also reply with your language, where you are from, and your gender.
