Hola JoAnna,
I worry also, but I am staking much on the idea that the students I have
now, next year will talk circles around their peers and realize their
abilities. I suspect, with a solid oral foundation, you might cover needed
grammar concepts in about a month, for it is by that time merely explaining
what they use, rather than the other way around, trying to correctly use
what you have just explained. Just a thought.
