Date/Time: March 4th, 5PM
Location: Catalina Cafe
Topic discussed: General Introduction
Cultural and/or linguistic
topics you and your partner learned: Today, Ashirbad and I continued our
conversation from two weeks. Ago. Ashirbad’s situation is unique. He is married
and a native Indian. However, his wife is still in India and Ashirbad works for
the state as a computer programmer. His greatest frustration is when people
make fun of his accent, even though he has a nearly flawless mastery of spoken English.
I encouraged him to slow down when he speaks (he speaks with extreme alacrity)
and watch an American tv show consistently. He agreed to try. I look forward to
meeting with him again in two weeks!
