On August 24th, I met with Hamza again. We practiced minimal pairs of /p/ and /b/ sounds, since he struggles with those. We also did speaking practice by having him read a journal article. I corrected him as he spoke. I tried to create a very safe environment for him because it seems that he has a lot of anxiety around speaking. I explained to him that mistakes are a part of the process and that he won't get better without practice. We identified that he struggles with some "l" sounds, and "ir" sounds. I plan to find ways to practice pronunciation and research the proper mouth position to help him. He is very eager to learn!
