Anthony CP#4

Last week, Abdulaziz and I got lunch twice. The first time, I met him in CIES during their lunch hour, and we walked to a Cuban restaurant on Tennessee Street called Chi Chi's. It is a small cafe with very good food. We ordered our food, and then sat down to talk and eat. Abdulaziz is a big fan of Yu Gi Oh and also plays a mobile version of the game very often. We talked a lot about how he has played in online tournaments in Saudi Arabia, and he even competed recently in a North American tournament. I have competed in similar online competitions, so we compared both of our experiences. In addition to this, Abdulaziz had many questions about the pronunciation of 't' in some words such as "written", "gotten", "great", etc. Also, he asked me a lot about the different pronunciations and uses of reduced forms like"gotta", "wouldja", "woulda", etc. It was a really funny but very enlightening conversation; one that I know he enjoyed.
