How do you say, "in this class we draw and paint"?

Question

I have a new student and she speaks no English. I want her to be comfortable.

• I think it is "En esta clase, dibujamos y pintamos." - lydianish1 Feb 14, 2012
• Thanks for helping Lydia, that's right! - StuartSD Feb 14, 2012

Answer 1

One of the beautiful things about art and drawing is that they allow you to express yourself without the encumbrance of a language barrier.

Answer 2

To be honest with you, by telling her those 7 words you are not going to make much of a difference! If she doesn't speaks English, she should first take ESL classes before she ventures Art.

• ESL is important but having a caring teacher in art where she can do something without knowing much language can be a real stress-buster in the long day of only English. - katydew Feb 14, 2012
• And you think these 7 words are going to make that much of a difference when the student is going to need to understand the instructions and ask questions? - farallon7 Feb 14, 2012
