Kailon CP #3

During our third session, my conversation partner and I talked about the similarities and differences between American culture and culture in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Jean told me that a popular Congolese dish is Foufou. Foufou is also Jean's favorite dish. It consists of potatoes mixed with fish or meat. The languages that are spoken in the DRC are" French, Lingala, Kikongo, Tshibula, and Swahili. We also discussed ways of being hospitable in both America and the DRC. It was interesting to see the similarities between the two cultures, in regards to hospitality rules. I look forward to the next two sessions that Jean and I will have next week!
