Jacqi CP4
I picked another conversation partner because I was afraid that I would not have enough time to meet the requirements for this course. My conversation partner is Marina and she is a Fulbright TA from Lebanon. Working with her was very different from my other conversation partners because she has a very extensive knowledge of the English language. So when we were together it was mainly for cultural exchanges. I worked a lot with her explaining silly quotes and sayings and doing many American hobbies like bars. She is from Lebanon and after my presentation you will see that there are a lot of bars in Lebanon but none like Bullwinkle's. We went there to see the live music the other day and she really enjoyed it. She let her hair down and danced the night away...I even convinced her to get on a picnic table with me and dance. However I did notice somethings like she doesn't really drink and she didn't want to wear shorts or a skirt and it's a million degrees outside. Just so you know she is a Christian not an Arab so it's not against her religion to do this I just think it might be against her culture to do so. And not against like in a negative way just against like not normal.
