Shalom everybody!

This week was great. I started with a new student- a lovely student who is a COMPLETE beginner. We first started learning the letters, the vowels, and of course how to read and to write correctly. I must admit that as I was noticing the difficulty he was dealing with, I began to hesitate about the pace and the method I chose to use. I certainly did not want to cause any overload or confusion. So, I decided that a first 'feedback chat' would be the right thing to do. At the end of our talk I was far more relaxed and calm as he explained that everything was fine for him and he believes that he will 'survive'; What a relief ☺
As I wrote previously, I am currently seeking an MA program to start in October. On Wednesday I went to visit one potential location and check my options there but it's not for me. Hoping to find something soon.
I spent Shabbat up in the North at my best friend's house who is getting married in two weeks time. All of our friends came and it was exciting and a lot of fun. Can’t wait for the wedding…
Wishing you all the best and Shavua Tov,
