This weekend my new conversation partner invited me over to her house for some good old traditional Lebanese food. It was wonderful. We ate Fafelas, Hummus, Tabouli, and this Lentil soup that is made of crushed lentils and rice. It was delicious. The food was so simple, yet so enjoyable. I am finding that having a conversation partner that is so advanced is a little bit more difficult though. Since she is at a very advanced level of comprehension I try and direct my focus on cultural words and expressions. I meet a lot of hostility sometimes because she thinks I am critiquing her in a negative way. which isn't true. How do you help someone who thinks they already know everything?
