Right Letter, Wrong Language

It's Day 3 of kindergarten. Joel reads very well, but we were reviewing sounds that the letters A-H make. Using big flashcards, each with a picture, I asked Joel to say the sound and then five more words (besides the picture) that the letter starts with.

He was having a hard time thinking of examples for the letter "h".

So I gave him some clues.

I waved my hand. "Okay, when you greet someone, what do you say?"

He furrowed his brow in thought, then replied, "Hola?"
