Right now I just make them talk for the first half (about an hour) and then we'll do something out of their workbook or I'll print an elementary level reading comprehension off of some free websites.Chris and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433880543279767835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590240878226694914.post-32166455926559578792009-06-21T12:44:17.497+09:002009-06-21T12:44:17.497+09:00Hi Chris and Amy!

They typical formal greeting is 'merhaba' pronounced as it's spelled.<br /><br />Slang is 'naber' for informal situations - the equivalent of what's up :)Anilhttp://foxnomad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590240878226694914.post-84668018069020425472009-06-19T17:18:36.428+09:002009-06-19T17:18:36.428+09:00Hi Gloria!

On the flip side, it was tiny Japanese size, so it was gone in about 2 seconds and we were still hungry!Mary and Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793829667368903351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590240878226694914.post-14598011992650732682009-06-19T17:14:11.796+09:002009-06-19T17:14:11.796+09:00Hi Anil,

When I was in New Zealand I ordered a hamburger and it came with a slice of pickled beet root on it. Discovered I don't like the taste of hamburgers with pickled beet root!! Oh, well! Hope your pizza tasted 'familiar' :-)<br Anne Edwardshttp://boomernomads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590240878226694914.post-84658032926436568692009-06-18T21:49:43.784+09:002009-06-18T21:49:43.784+09:00Awesome!
