Ansley CP #2

I met with my second conversation partner at Starbucks Tuesday afternoon.  He is from Saudi Arabia.  He mentioned his dad had attended CIES many years ago.  He was very impressed with his father's English and wanted to also speak English.  He is living in an apartment but his father stayed with a Tallahassee family when he studied at CIES.  I was wondering if that is still an option for CIES students.  This partner seemed excited to engage with Americans as much as possible and acknowledged that speaking only with Arabic speakers was an inhibitor to learning English while he was here.  I look forward to meeting again with my conversation partner and inviting him to events with more native-English speakers.
