For my third meeting with Saeed we again went to Starbucks, I do believe the baristas are starting to remember our names. Saeed had been working on some listening homework when I arrived and asked me to give him some tips. I told him that he must never be afraid to repeat an English audio over and over again until he catches the gist of what the speakers are saying; I even told him that’s what I do when I listen to a new song. We talked about how he enjoys English when it is not associated with classwork, such as the work he was doing, and ways he could work on his English in a fun environment. I told Saeed that listening to American television shows was a great way to work on English listening skills and an even better way to acclimate to American culture. We then talked about my favorite television shows and what shows would be best for him to watch, such as FRIENDS, and we then talked about what kinds of books and movies we each preferred. Saeed, of course, prefers action and superhero movies and while I do, too, I prefer movies that are more historical. I gave him some recommendations, so we’ll see if he actually gets around to watching any.
