Date/Time: 10/30/15 2:00-3:00 PM
Location: CIES Building
Topic Discussed: Introductions, Kuwait, Family Life
Cultural and/or Linguistic Topics you and your partner learned: It was great meeting my second conversation partner, Fadia. Fadia recently moved to the US with her husband and three children. Her work and the Kuwaiti government are supporting her education here (she plans to study English for a year and then apply to the FSU School of Engineering). I was very impressed with Fadia's conversational English. Although she is a Foundations-Level student and has trouble forming full sentences and using proper grammar, she wasn't afraid to speak for the full hour and she clearly expressed her thoughts. We talked about her family, linguistics, culture, and our future goals. I look forward to meeting her again in the future!
