When we write something new or that they are weak on on the board in the form of Point and Pause, most of us write the TL word next to the English and connect them with a dash or an equal sign. I’ve been leaving out the TL word lately. It builds better accents and it is not really necessary to do, since all we want to do in Point and Pause is establish meaning of the sound. They can see what it looks like in the TL when they do the Step 3 reading later. This idea was a one day blip in a thread about two months ago. Thanks to whoever it was that brought it up. I finally got around to doing it and I like it, but since I’ve been doing it for fifteen years the other way it is hard to remember. Is anybody else doing it? What are your thoughts?
