Language...

In preparation for this trip, Liz, a famous ESL teacher gave me great help. After I emailed her my first teaching report in which I said the students often drop the last sound of a word. She emailed back this story of a Hmong student with whom she worked. The student asked "What is the difference between the number ni, the ni you cut with, have a ni day and goo ni?" A perfect illustration of dropping the last sound. Thanks Liz!
