Building self-confidence; understanding that learning a new language is an amazing thing and easier than it feels.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Keep the lessons playful.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Explain in a way that can be understood. Come back to it at a later time.
