New Vocabulary from the Wednesday Learner Lesson

We studied four mysteries today. Probably the biggest was "the mystery of learning": How do you learn alone?  What is the process of independent learning?  My theory is on the board and we saw how difficult it is to finish by hearing your stories about the "self-assigned" homework from last night.

Of the twelve people who chose to participate only 4 managed to learn something they can use today.

That's actually quite impressive.  Usually STUDENTS usually can't do the first three without help.

LEARNERS can.

That's what I want you to be able to do.  I want you to be able to read a text or hear a piece when you choose,  identify new stuff-whether Grammar, Pronunciation or Vocabulary- and then USE it.
