You will have someone to teach who doesn't know your language. Your job is to teach him your language, 1 on 1. You will be with this person one time a week for five weeks for two hour sessions. Make a prediction of how much English this person will know.
OK. I will be able to talk to the person in much the same way as I would talk to a child who has had one year of formal schooling. (S)he should be able to take directions, find his or her way around the environment, and tell someone else what is happening to him or her.
Really? 10 hours and the langauge capability of a 2nd grader? People say you are amibitious or arrogant to think you could give a person the same skill in communication as someone who has been raised with a language for 7 years.
We'll see. How can anyone give the gift of language to someone so easily? Of course, it's really not so easy. The ability to give language quickly would have been years and years in the making.
OK. T-10 sessions and counting. Time's a wasting.
