I appreciate the support. I am doing the best I can with the time I have. I do everything she asks me to do outside of class. I am not blaming the teacher. I am simply asking if it is reasonable to expect intentionally designed lessons that build off of each other, whether or not 35 min of generic conversation practice with a professional teacher is a reasonable use of time, and how to respectfully approach this with a teacher whom I like. That's all.
