J always does a lot of talking on our walks, but today with the piggies along he was especially excited about showing and explaining all his favorite things. I really focused on working second person informal plural forms today (ihr / euch / euer / eurig ). Since I've consciously stressed them for years, J's usage is generally very good in this regard, especially in short sentences in the nominative case and in the interrogative and imperative moods. But he still has trouble and hesitates with the oblique cases and the adjectival forms. Today I modeled a lot of sustained discourse with the piggies with as many forms of the relevant pronouns as I could pack in. By the end of the walk he was getting out sentences with forms in several cases correctly and smoothy-naturally.
