Update: Ming practices English

I’ve been pleased to see that our host mom has taken to studying some English. The past few afternoons, she has come around the corner with her Khmer/English picture dictionary, and we’ll go over some vocabulary pronunciation for about an hour and then discuss a few things.

Then the other day, she brought me into her kitchen and low and behold she had a large piece of paper taped to the wall with a lot of new vocabulary and their phonetic pronunciations. She went on to tell me that she multi-tasks: while cooking and doing the dishes she also is studying the new vocab.

I think I should give that methodology a try.
