Be patient with me

Don't use so many words!

We know we have accents. Please ask us to repeat our answer if you can't understand us

English is so difficult to pronounce!
Don't single me out in class. Please speak to me privately.
Use pictures, your hands or act out what you want me to do.
Let us use a dictionary or Google Translate for some of our work.
Give us homework every day so we can practice English at home.
A Study Buddy would help me when I have questions
Don't use idioms - they confuse us!
