Sometimes when we've taught pre level 3 students we have been rather surprised at their lack of understanding of grammatical structures (which means they find L3 difficult as you can no longer fudge your way through) but others are way ahead in their reception & productive skills. Depends where you are on the continuum, I'm afraid. Why not have a go as it is an inexpensive book so even if only two chapters help, it'll still be worth a fiver/tenner!

If so, look at the Mentoring page. If you are looking for support from like-minded deaf TOD then you might be better setting up a closed facebook group (I set up a similar group when I was a TOD many years ago) and invite mutual discussion. What kind of support are you looking for? Hi – are you looking for a 121 with me? If so, look at the Mentoring page.
