The way he asked the question they thought he meant that Chris wanted the fat taken out of this batch that they had already grinded.\u00a0 We all had a couple of good laughs with that one.\u00a0 This was a difficult request and was to see how far along Chris had come along in this stage.\u00a0 He did well in the midst of many unknowns.\u00a0 Then we went to the meat pie counter to ask how much they were and when they would come. \u00a0\u00a0He did great and was able to express it clearly.<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0\u00a0 Ate lunch at Kimis.\u00a0 Chris asked for food and then when we sat there at the table we talked about a number of things.\u00a0 One of those things was to talk about fishing in Alaska.\u00a0 It went real well and he was able to learn some new concepts about fishing such as pol bruk or stik bruk, pis emi stap yet long huk stik, net is umben, river going into the ocean is a hanwara, huge lake could be bikpela wara.\u00a0 Nathan gave that instead of bikpela raun wara<\/p>\n 8)\u00a0\u00a0 Description of fishing rod.\u00a0 Chris described the fishing rod well with a diagram<\/p>\n 9)\u00a0\u00a0 Talked about Chris\u2019 family Chris was able to talk about his family and the work they did.\u00a0 He did well here also.\u00a0 There was one time where it was kinda confusing if something had happened or was going to take place.\u00a0 It was good to see him use the word \u201csave\u201d in the right context a number of times which was good to see.\u00a0 \u201cbrata bai kamap bosman bilong dispela\u2026\u201d\u00a0 Chris had left out the \u201cbai\u201d.<\/p>\n 10) Describe a place.\u00a0 Chris explained what the Asaro school grounds looked like and how they as a family had gone there for the Graduation.\u00a0 Chris was able to explain it well.\u00a0 One area where he said things a little wrong was about the being under the sun and that is why he went to the stand under the roof of the class room.\u00a0 Should be \u201cstap long san\u201d and \u201cmi laik sindaun long ples kol\u201d. The conclusion was a little weak and that was noticeable when Nathan asked \u201c\u2026and so… are you done.<\/p>\n 11)\u00a0 Drove and talked about the Pig rope at the tumbuna market.\u00a0 Chris asked \u201c Dispela rop em bilong wanem?\u00a0 Nathan said it would have been better to say \u201c oli save mekim wanem long dispela rop.<\/p>\n 12) Talked at the park. \u00a0Chris was able to communicate well with some of the different communication tasks.<\/p>\n 13) Express appreciation for our time together.\u00a0 Chris was able to express appreciation well to Nathan.<\/p>\n Detailed Observations:<\/strong> It\u2019s been great to see you Chris progressing in Culture and Language.\u00a0 I can see that you have been building good relationships with a number of the young guys in the community and with Tom and Benson that is so important. \u00a0\u00a0Playing Rugby or basketball is a great way to just have fun and get to know how they think.<\/p>\n There were a few times that you used pinis in the wrong way.\u00a0 For example \u201cmi no save olgeta pinis.\u00a0 Yu would rather say \u201cmi no save long olgeta yet\u201d \u00a0or \u201c Mi no save yet long olgeta\u201d<\/p>\n Pronunciation words: keep working on the vowels.<\/p>\n General Recommendations- <\/strong>Chris, my recommendations for you in the red print above.\u00a0 Continue to work on some pronunciation.\u00a0 You have improved a lot in your usage of \u201clong\u201d and \u201cbai\u201d, etc.\u00a0 Keep up the good work. Keep listening to recordings \u2013 the people won\u2019t correct you all the time but they will say it correctly when they say it back in a recording.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good way to learn new vocabulary as well.<\/p>\n Conclusion- <\/strong>Keep up the good work and the time you are investing in learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First, we had the privilege (privilege is really probably not the right word to use here) of experiencing the strongest earthquake either of us have ever felt.\u00a0 I was standing on the porch of our house when I started looking around to see why the porch was shaking.\u00a0 As the shaking grew stronger I realized […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":488,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-uncategorized","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/488"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"My](\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/chris-hostetter\/files\/2011\/12\/102_1950-300x225.jpg\")
