Today I worked with Yuki for an hour, during which I noticed an incredible change in her handwriting from the last time I'd seen it (which, admittedly, has been quite a while, due to Yosuke's midterms). It used to be pretty standard ESL-learner handwriting, which is neat, blocky letters. Now she has girly 7th grader handwriting! Seriously! The characters are soft and a bit loopy, and the i's have special dots and everything. It's so natural that you can't even tell that she's an ESL learner.
I also noticed vast improvement in her English (that's nothing new, though - her rate of improvement is the highest among all my students), so all around she's doing very well. She's going to be bilingual in no time!
