At the beginning of the semester, I signed up to be an English tutor for the students in the pre-freshman year language studies program, the year that many students here take to make sure they can cope in fully English-language classes. Today I finally started my first conversation group! We'll be meeting once a week to chat in English, just to give them some practice speaking differently than they might just chatting with their friends or in class.
Since it was just the first week we didn't talk about anything in particular; I wanted to get a feel for their particular language skills. They were actually more curious about me than willing to talk-- where was I from, what my major was, what I did for spring break. But it's a great group so far-- three girls-- and I think we'll have an awesome semester. Let me know if you have any fun conversation starters!
