Example of interaction + correction.
Once I was talking with an other volunteer which is at the university and he's completely bilingual so he corrected me when I was not saying thins the right way.
Ex : Me - I can see that your name Is Michael, nice to meet you I am Joel.
Him - Nice to meet you Joel do you like being here so far?
Me - Yes I do, kid here have a good comportment it is great.
Him - ( he corrected me by saying that it is better to say ) Behaviour instead of comportment.
LATER when we were playing dodge ball...
Me - As I can see some of these kids does not accept really good to be defeated.
Him - there is an expression to say what you mean and it is : Be a good sport.
Me - I see, thanks for correcting me.
This is pretty much the only dialogue I remember having mistakes and being corrected.
Ah ah! moment!
I was in the gym with Adam ( monitor ) and he asked me to go upstairs see for Anthony and ask him the keys to unlock the door. So I went upstairs but I did not know who was Anthony, the only thing I remembered is that he has no hair so I asked a girl if she knew where the guy with ( no hair ) was, and she laughed! She said that a guy with no hair is a -bowl guy- which I found funny too.
So it was funny and I learned a new word!
Formal dialogue I heard : Monitor : May I PLEASE have your attention so we can begin the house games.
Kids : Well they were all listening after she asked to be quiet.
I guess ( MAY I PLEASE ) is a good formal question.
Informal dialogue I heard : One of the kids said : Comon dude throw the ball or you'll be dead!
The monitor said : Don't say that this way! first you know his name and he wont be DEAD! He will be out of the game.
