Cindy – April 13th 2020, Journal Entry #18

During this quarantine my mom and I have been singing quite a lot. She loves songs in english but does not understand everything they say all the time. That is why I decided to help her with her english by having 10 mins of only speaking in english every day. In this way she will gain confidence and will improve her way of pronouncing words. It is a fun way to teach her english but we also practice with a book that has the meaning of words in spanish and how they are said in english. An IB skill that I am putting into practice is being a balanced person, because I organized my time so well that I still have time to teach my mom english. This is something I do with so much love because my family has taught me that if you know how to do something, you should teach it and not make a person feel bad for not knowing how to. In brief, I have been also been practicing my english by talking to her which is a win win for both of us.
