For the last couple of days our two teaching groups have been writing dialogues using difficult pronunciations. Neither the teachers nor the other group have known the details. This afternoon we did one of my favourite lessons: we read 10 poems together then everyone chose one to practise, getting individual help with pronunciation, rhythm and expression.

This evening, after a sunset swim in a reservoir by the canal, we all performed in the boat. Creativity, wit, hilarity and mutual support. Just about the most important qualities you could ask for.
