Since we had fun with the Uno, we decide to pick another game to play today- she gravitates towards taboo and though it starts as a game soon it becomes a flashcard vocab quiz. Less of a competition now that Ibrahim was not playing, but now a lesson on game card topic words. There are a lot of words that are probably not necessary to really know, but regardless, many are fun to explain and potentially fun words to implement into her life. The one that really gets her is “juggling”, I laugh, it is kind of a ridiculous sounding word, but she seems to like its meanings as well. We come up with the many ways we have to be one person with multiple constant roles to perform and be a part of and how messy it can sometimes be. I think she most likes her role of being a mother. I think how both Wafa and Amirah have happy and bright daughters and that part of their inspiration to learn English is to impart it onto them as well. Amirah says that most of the help she needs in English is speaking and listening and that our sessions are helping her with that. I’m excited to know that we will continue to meet once or twice a week.
