Default Re: Frustrated Adult Learner

Thanks, Alawton. . .

This is what I tell msot of my students. Practice, practice, practice. But this guy--and he's probably my most serious student--is a real case of 'I just don't have the time.' And I try to understand that. I've encouraged him to try to think about his day in English, to pay attention when he's in English conversations for words he doesn't know. . .

But is there something we can do together, or I can tell him to do while he's driving or otherwise first to encourage him (He's not going to learn if he thinks he can't) and second, to work on vocab with a minimum of time?
