Today I went over to the library to teach Radka again from 11-12:00. At the end of our last lesson, she specifically requested a lesson teaching her how to use the bus. Our lesson covered vocabulary and phrases such as "exact change", "how much is the bus fare to [place]?", and various ways to ask questions related to riding on the bus. This included how to ask about prices and any available discounts.
I covered how to make one-way and round-trip reservations for bus rides, and also taught her how to ask the bus driver to tell her when they reached [destination]. Once we had finished with that, I discussed shuttle bus services that hotels sometimes offer, and how to take advantage of those.
The above activities used 45 out of our 60 minutes. Once we had exhausted the above, I briefly mentioned prepositions because another of our teachers will be covering that in a future lesson. At the end of our lesson, Radka asked me to teach her how to ask for directions and asked me to bring in a map for her to practice describing how to get from A to B, so that will be our activity for next Wednesday. We will also be switching to a twice per week (Wednesday and Friday) schedule for our lessons starting next week.
Sounds like she is giving you some good feedback!
