My lessons with Fran continued like clockwork for 3 weeks. She got her lessons and I got my trash picked up! Her English was progressing rapidly and she arrived prepared, her homework completed, and ready to go on to the next learning challenge.
I found out that Fran's first language was Cuicateco, and that she was one of the rare native speakers of that dying language. I wanted to help Fran preserve her language, and we came up with the idea of making a series of videos on YouTube. The series is called "Learn to speak Cuicateco with Fran." After we made the first one, a series of jolting events took place, but we will soon continue with more videos -- I'll keep you posted!
