#langchat Tweet #2: I've found that students oftentimes need clarification between the present vs. future: Yo estudio durante el fin de semana vs. voy a estudiar durante el fin de semana. If you usually study, present tense. What about *this* weekend though?

#langchat A2: I usually emphasize use /context with attention to the structure, and I like to avoid studying one particular tense too long, so that students don't end up in 'auto pilot' when using a tense.

#langchat A3: I think all of us can agree that we are trying to inspire our students even more these days! When they are enjoying a lesson, so are we! Therefore, the role of grammar is to be as enjoyable as possible no matter what the topic or level.
