During this session, DoJun and I spoke about the Thanksgiving holiday and the different types of food we eat. I learned that the Korean Thanksgiving occurred 2 months ago. We also spoke about Costco. There are 3 in Korea and when DoJun came to the US- specifically in Seattle he attempted to go to a Costco but didn't realize he needed a Costco card. He was able to borrow one and shop there. He doesn't normally shop in Costco in Korea because it is too far away. We spoke about his commute to work and the best ways to travel around Seoul.
DoJun speaks very well he just needs more practice to speak at a native level. I can see his brain working to try and express himself quickly when we are having a conversation. When this happens he tends to forget the simple aspects of grammar in speech. He tends to forget to use his articles, countable nouns, and plurals in the correct way. The most notable are the articles. For our sessions, I tend to pick out the most often occurring errors so that he picks up on him. He has greatly improved from our first session. When he gets excited about something we are talking about, and doesn't focus on the grammar, he seems to do better.
