This was my 2nd session with my Colombian female tutee.   After last week's needs assessment, I learned that my student was mostly interested in the finer points of conversational language.  Today we focused on contractions like can't, shouldn't, haven't, and blended words like "wanna" and "gonna."  We even touched on the ever elusive triple contraction you would only hear in the south, "Y'all'd've," of course in jest.  My tutee was happy to stick with the basics!   I find that I have more fun talking about the quirks and subtleties of the english language, than I do teaching the basics.
