Last week, I met with my conversation partner for some Starbucks coffee. His name is Amer and is from Saudi Arabia. He is 21 and moved to Tallahassee with his sister a couple of months ago. Before that, they were living in Washington State. I thought that was quit the polar opposite move to come to Florida. I asked him many question about how likes Tallahassee which led to a good conversation about more topics regarding current life events. I would say that overall, Amer can communicate effectively and I can understand him very well. There were a few times where he was unsure of the correct pronunciation of words, but he gave it a go and some times it would take me a minute to figure out what he was trying to say. An example of this would be when he was trying to tell me that he lived by Governor's Square and completely butchered the name.
It was a very interesting first meet and I look forward to the rest of our sessions!
