Ahmad and I met from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 1/17.
We got lunch at a nearby Moe's. The bulk of our conversation centered around how he learned to speak English so well (primarily by watching thousands of hours of English-language content for over eight years, with minimal reading and writing practice). We also discussed where he was from, what brought him to Tallahassee, his plans for the future, and his favorite genres of film and television. We also touched upon some of the cultural differences between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Ahmad is an interesting and well-spoken young man, and I look forward to our future meetings!
