Linguistic adventures
A short report of yesterday. The day started with me reading with a couple - it's partly to help my French and also for fellowship. That turned into a lively discussion of service and authority in the church. Then to the student centre, picking up a box of rice and chicken saté on the way.
At the centre I read and talked with one student (Jerry Bridges - we've nearly finished the book now), then various different people came in. This is what was happening:
1) Fiona working with a French student on an essay in French that he was submitting.
2) French student working with a Chinese student on his letter of motivation for a place at University.
3) Fiona working with a Moroccan student on a PowerPoint presentation in English of their botany research.
I floated around for 1) and 3) offering the occasional suggestion, especially since botany isn't really Fiona's thing and of course it is mine.
