Kerri TS #7

Thursday night was my fourth session with Abdullah. We focused our effort on speaking and forming our own ideas in English, and Abdullah was happy to share a little more of his culture with me. Our conversation was mostly getting to know each other better, and we talked a lot about our families. He is married, and his wife has a baby on the way! I was talking to him about job opportunities and interviews, and he offered me a lot of advice because he was once a supervisor at the company he worked for in Saudi Arabia. There were a few words I said that Abdullah was unfamiliar with, so I would define the word and offer him some synonyms he might already know. I would then use the word in a sentence again. He wrote some of these new vocabulary words in his notebook. He also followed my advice for pronunciation practice and turns English captions on his TV at home. His fluency is getting stronger every time I see him!
