Dear Mourka,

You write: "I have a professional theatre background which helps me to
sing and dance
through class, however, I think that generally, rhythm helps language
learning.  I use rhythm with everything--grammar points particularly.  The
kids remember everything."

Your lessons sound brilliant, and your students are to be envied.  I just
want to add that your methods are curiously similar to the way Greek and
Latin used to be taught in the top British private schools.  Teachers
used hundreds of little silly rhymes to help their students remember
Grammatical rules. Yes, rhythm rules!

Best Wishes, Robert Chandler
