I got this recently from K, who makes an interesting observation about the value of classes in which vocabulary acquisition is valued over language acquisition:
Hey Mr. Slavic,
Knowing a bunch of words without use won’t help. I have a neighbor who took 5 years of French (including AP) and only knows a bunch of random words . This is a partial list:
dog, hello , thank you, red, house, bike, school, my name is, bye, peanut butter, steak, apple, clothes, sweater, tennis, cat, mom, family.
Words. No sentences.
The lunch group is coming Friday, it should be interesting.
