Good idea Cody.

James, yes pronounciation is the problem. Let’s hope that it takes less than 30 minutes. I’m sure if I sat down with her and did lots of repetition she’d get it in that time, but this isn’t a real ‘student’ that I have lessons with, but my girlfriend.

I had planned to just mention the difference in pronounciation between ‘sixteen’ and ‘sixty’ if it came up, but I think that I’m going to do the flashcard thing that cody suggested.

i’m confused. you said she’s getting them mixed up.
but it seems like pronunciation is the only problem.
if you know what one word means, how it’s spelled and how it’s pronounced, what’s the problem there? i’m sure this could be solved in under 30 minutes (shouldn’t take a week). what am i missing?

Ooooh ooooh ooooh!!!
Make it fun. Do some kind of flashcard drill game and increase the speed as she starts catching on. Throw in some big numbers too.

Think its a good idea?
