Luke with his Chinese teachers

This was the group I had for free talk from 8:30 until 10:00 every morning my first week here. I discovered that I really like free talk the first day with this group! They're so eager to learn, and they put in so much hard work to do so. This group progressed a lot this week, and I built really good relationships with all of them. Actually, they're taking me to a beach Saturday afternoon! That should be very, very fun!



This was the group I had for free talk from 10:20 until 11:50 my first week. This group started at a pretty high level of English already, but they really made a lot of improvement! It was really gratifying and humbling on Friday to witness a 20-30 minute English conversation between them in which I contributed maybe 10 words! I love what we're doing here with the free talk, primary and middle school camps, and teacher training and workshops, and I know that we're making a huge and vitally important difference in Doumen.
