Awesome and small world, I used to play hockey for the Waterloo Blackhawks and lived in Cedar Falls Iowa for a couple years. I had a slovakian whom lived with me and spoke no English upon his arrival. He listend to alot of music(Phish and Floyd) with me and I felt that he learned alot of English through asking questions to understand songs meanings. Unfortunately, he never became a fan of Phish(he was only into death metal) but he did always enjoy loosening up and getting his boogie on. Anyhow, Nice work using a personal approach to conncet with your students. #sand
