TP-1

Last week I met with my tutoring group for the 1st time. My group consists of my conversation partner Ahmed, Matar (who was sick and had to go rest shortly after our introduction), and Kaled. We introduced ourselves, and I asked them what their greatest difficulty was in their English learning. Pronunciation and vocabulary were the unanimous answers, so for our next lesson I am planning to make a small vocabulary list for them to go over. The rest of the session consisted of the three of us discussing differences in culture, and how many people are stuck within their limited view of the world, constricted by perspectives. It was actually quite an interesting conversation, and I found myself impressed with their ability to express themselves in a language they had no fully mastered. Often times I regret that I wasn't exposed to the learning of a foreign language at a younger age.
