Motivación

Sundays are always a light homework day because we have our 90 minute Group Sessions. Today, Ismar's helper was his daughter, Allison, she was lovely. She helped us with our book reading. We were to focus on pronunciation and intonation or the cadence of the language, not necessarily the meanings of each word. Today we read the story "Mi Hogar".

Summy commented that the story was very Indian and reminded her that her family would normally sit on the floor, unless there was company and they would bring out the chairs. Anouska mentioned a lot of the stories are. Which is interesting considering the books are Nicaraguan.

The coach discussion today was how to keep motivated. For a lot of us finding the time is a challenge. But really, now that I think about it, don't we always find time for things that we want to do. And what is it that we want to do, we want to do things that are fun. I've heard it many times before, keep it fun! 

Another instructor suggested to regularly take time to review things I've done in the past. Whether it's re-watch a program, re-read a book, re-listen to a podcast and notice how much more I understand than the first time. It's easy to get bogged down in how much you don't know, that we forget how far we've come. I need to be a better self coach. 

Having said that, I am enjoying this group very much. We are all very motivated already and I hope we continue our "journey" (I'm stealing this from Anouska's  blog) together either through our blogs and through Telegram. Maybe someday we'll even meet in person. Wouldn't that be fun!
