@pj_schreiner Ouch! That is no small cut!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@drjohnmeade My home church in Canada! Very happy they’ll get to hear from you!

@bobby_jamieson @manorjuan @MBTS This is GREAT news for @MBTS and its students! Very happy and excited for you too!

@melissabarciela Felicitaciones!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@criscardozomin, I'm happy to see that my students are coming across your work and citing you in their papers!

@AlexanderLDiaz Jajaja!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@KoineGuide @pjgurry Yes, I know Sawyer, he does great work. I’m actually working on my own “textbook” for this approach now and had good chats with him about developing content.

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@KoineGuide @pjgurry I was taught the trad way. But I took courses and started playing around with some more communicative/SLA approaches (BLC, Biblingo, Polis). I joined Greek conversation groups and slowly picked things up. I still have lots of room to grow, of course.

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@pjgurry To be honest, by the time we had introduced several tenses, they were struggling. Mind you, I hadn’t even taught them the categories they need to identify when parsing. I pivoted a little and started to do a little but more explanation of form and morphology in class.

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@AlexanderLDiaz Siii!!!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@KoineGuide @pjgurry I think so. Plus, the kind of literature you need to get started does not need to be very complicated. I write mini-stories for my students with the vocab and grammar they’ve learned and expose them to the language at whatever pace I choose.

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@pj_schreiner @MBTS Congrats, Patrick!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@drjohnmeade @MBTS Great news! I heard you got to meet and interact with one of my students at CBU, David Byun and had a good chat about the Sabbath 😉

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@joehussung I have had something like that, yes! Luckily, man auto saves periodically. I have noticed that when I run Grammarly on a large document AND I’m running Zotero, Word gets really upset and sometimes quits on me.

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@amber_m_dillon Wow, Amber this is great! Congratulations!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@mbird12 Alright! Adding that to the list of things I’m thankful for today!

[Andrés D. Vera @drezvera99]

@Dom_S_Hernandez @CaioPeres18 Yup, it seems like they’re $6 on Amazon.
