Bom domingo a todos 😁 What a week, @Robert Mike-Mayer has made a great impact as top cadet this week, showing up regularly and bringing the 'Speak Portuguese' conversation to this party! He's a great community member to follow and have a Portuguese chat with in one of his daily posts - like this Thanks, as ever, to top vizinho português @António Ferreira who brings so much value to us from the goodness of his heart 🙏 Nice work @Doug Stone, @Matthias Lanuschny and newbie @Charlotte Conley for showing up in the community timeline with interaction too this week, obrigado! Hoping things are going well for you @Lori Wong, we missed you this week, among the Á-teamers @Peter Haglund, @Brian Mathers, @Vivian Shuemake and @Bob Wenger, who have hung in there with the intentionalty that Bob spoke of, which really makes a difference. The big idea to come out of Friday's de-brief was 'buddy chat groups' (thanks to Brian & Peter), based on the classic Portuguese-speaking-ONLY dinner party format, which we could replicate on online calls within this platform - one or two of us foreigners, supported by a Portuguese person who will support and speak to us only in Portuguese; who's in? One technique came out of my own week, worth sharing I think, from the classic supermarket scenario: I stopped the lady on the till and asked her to repeat what she'd said. I repeated back what I THOUGHT she'd said. She corrected me, clearly and naturally - and I understood. "Muito obrigado, professora," I uttered as I left, which I think she liked 🤗 We now have 20+ mission modules in the CLASSROOM BTW - please get in there, get out there, and
