English language learners had fun practicing career words. The twist of the game was that if they spoke in a language other than English, they had to add a clothespin to their shirt. Los estudiantes del idioma inglés se divirtieron practicando palabras de carreras. El giro del juego era que si hablaban en un idioma que no fuera inglés, tenían que agregar una pinza de ropa a su camisa. #CultureOfConfidence
