Janire- Tutoring session about culture and listening frequency
I had a wonderful time with Janire tonight. It was rough because we are both in TEFL and I felt like I was tutoring a peer. She was very very kind and allowed me to gently correct beautiful mistakes every once in a while. I did not nitpick. She is, after all, a professor here at FSU and speaks more languages than I. Maybe my apprehension is coming through here.
I had qued up season 2 episode 10 of Friends. It is a good look into American culture and has topics relating to people in their 20's so I thought it was a good choice. The episode is 22 minutes. We paused at several junctures to discuss up to that point.
I had some Toefl type questions pre-typed out for discussion and we talked at length about those.
Over all, I think it was a positive experience and we connected. Janire is an amazing girl and so smart and dedicated.
