Warm Up

Michael pulled an old 'twisting the arm' trick on the class, but, all the instructions were given in Vietnamese. The class learnt a few helpful words from this exercise: ngón tay, ngón tay cái, xuống, quay.

Lesson 1 - Tones and Pronunciation

We reviewed all of the O sounds we have learned, Review # 4. Then we did its Difficult Pronunciations, and we finished it off using the Reading Exercise as a quiz. Pages 43-45. Here is its Audio.


Lesson 2 - Connectives

Students were handed the Vietnamese Connectives handout. It explains why Vietnamese connectives are so handy and creative. And it provided a selection as examples. Here is the Connectives Audio.

Lesson 3 - 800 Words

We were able to preview some of the flashcards created by the class for homework. Very arts and crafts. Then we did another selection of 10 Flash Cards and learned them using a Vietnamese only lesson like last week. Here is the Audio of the 10 Flash Cards.

Lesson 4 - Tones and Pronunciation

We started AND completed all of our Ô Sounds. Ô / ÔI / ÔM / ÔN / ÔNG - ONG / ÔP /  ÔT / ÔC - OC.Pages 46-49a. Here is its Audio.

Lesson 5 - Juggling Practice

Reviewed counting using Juggling.

Lesson 5 - More Language Structure

In today's handout, class was taught Pluralisers and Categorisers! Vital concepts of Vietnamese Language Structure. As we have seen in the past, to pluralise a word, the word doesn't change like in English, but we need to add a word to the noun. And, although Vietnamese may not have genders for nouns, as in French or Spanish, but we do use Categorisers. 

Here is this week's language structure audio.

Lesson 6 - Culture

Today's culture lesson was on Educational Backgrounds for Western Culture, Asian Culture, the differences, and principles on how to potentially bridge the gap, particularly when teaching the bible.

Lesson 7 - Field Service

Class was given a Use of Questions handout, providing the 5 main questions that can be used in our ministry, as well as examples on how to use them. 

Here is its Audio.

Homework

As per Homework Sheet. Also here is Week 9's Word of the Day. And here is its Audio.
