Answers from Hosts:
- “Yep. I didn’t do those lessons at all with my 1st student. He was way too advanced. We kept the themes but made our own lessons that fit with the abilities of an advanced student. Games, reading articles and discussing them. It was like pulling teeth because he wanted to be here for a vacation but we got it done by hook and crook.” ~Natalie
