Conversation Partner: Meeting #4
3/2/20
3:00-4:00PM
This past Monday, Soojin and I met for our weekly conversation practice session. Since we hadn't talked since before the brief break, we caught up on which vacation location she chose and how her trip went. She said they had decided to visit Atlanta again, since it was much easier to get to given the brief nature of the break. Given that she and her friends had been before, this time they decided to visit the Atlanta Zoo. Soojin gushed about seeing the red pandas and the giant pandas and showed me lots of photos and videos of the cute creatures. We then discussed our favorite animals, bonding over the fact that we both love dogs. I showed her pictures of my two dogs back home and she told me that ideally she would love to have three dogs in the future (one small, one medium, one large). We also briefly spoke about the corona virus and the impact it was having on her family and friends in South Korea and how the virus could potentially alter my ability to teach abroad in the fall. Finally, we concluded our time with a brief grammar lesson. Soojin expressed her confusion over the difference between 'get through' versus 'go through' so I explained the different uses of the phrases as well as their grammatical function. Overall, I've throughly enjoyed having Soojin as my conversation partner these past six weeks and I hope to keep in touch with her for the remainder of the semester.
