Dynamic, skill-based Spanish learning with a University of Sheffield tutor focused on engagement

The session focused on French grammar, specifically differentiating between partitive articles (du, de la, des) and definite articles (le, la, les). The Student practiced applying these rules through numerous translation exercises, improving their understanding. They also discussed future topics like tenses and reading comprehension based on the Student's interests, with homework assigned for further practice.

Student and Tutor engaged in a French speaking lesson focused on personal expression, covering topics such as passions, free time activities, dreams, and career aspirations. They practiced formulating answers to questions about these topics, expanding vocabulary, and reviewing grammatical structures. Upcoming lessons will delve into the usage of "du, de, des, le, la, les" and discuss travel and personal growth.

The session centered on French partitive articles (`du`, `de la`, `de l'`, `des`). The Student practiced using these articles in various fill-in-the-blank and translation exercises. Homework was assigned to complete the remaining exercises, and the next academic session will cover negative forms of partitive articles and B1-level reading comprehension.

Student and Tutor continued their French language lesson, focusing on the correct usage of verbs for 'to meet' ('rencontrer' and 'se retrouver') and the verb 'espérer' (to hope). They practiced translating various sentences from French to English and English to French, reinforcing verb conjugations, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions. The Student plans to continue reviewing these concepts.

Student and Tutor began by reviewing the student's French homework, focusing on sentence construction. The main lesson covered the conjugation and application of the verb "avoir" in the subjunctive mood through various translation exercises from French to English and English to French. For homework, the Student was tasked with watching one episode of "Friends" in French to reinforce language immersion, and the next session was confirmed for Sunday.

The Tutor and Student reviewed previous homework assignments involving complex sentence structures. They then focused on conjugating the irregular French verb 'avoir' in the present indicative tense, practicing its pronunciation and translating sentences to reinforce its various uses. For homework, the Student was assigned to learn the present tense conjugations of 'avoir' and 'être', and to translate additional practice sentences.
