Spelling Bee

Last week Friday the US Embassy put on a Spelling Bee for 40 students in Vientiane. Some of my students and Julia's students participated. None of our students won, but it was fun to watch. Some of the words on the list for them to study included loquacious, tempestuous and curmudgeon. While helping my students study I learned a few new vocab words. And tried to learn how to spell some new words, unfortunately I can't remember the correct spelling or some of them -including loquacious. Thankfully for me there's spell check.
