Jared PJ TS#8

I had to reschedule this session till monday because my mom surprised me by saying my grandfather would be in town that evening. That is probably the one person I "drop everything" for. He is a linguist himself. He has worked for the Wyclieffe organization, translating the Bible into indigenous languages.  Regardless, I meet with PJ later today and we will cover an episode of The Middle that has a very entertaining guest star.

Dojun had a colleague's father pass away when we were supposed to have this session. He tried to reschedule, but I would be at graduation ceremony. When we meet shortly, I will try to ask how my graduation experience might have been different than his.

In today's lesson I wanted to ask Dojun about something he could really speak at length about. I asked him personal questions about his company and whether he thought it would be good for his superiors to incorporate bigger planes into the fleet. He had great insight. And then I asked him about his company's advertising. This was fun to her about the KPop stars that represented his airline company abroad.

I was busy when I met with Dojun today, I was in the middle of editing a lengthy paper for a History class. Dojun wanted to read it, but I think he would be discouraged because my diction can 100% get too bombastic! Therefore we just talked about hisotry instead. And I asked him poignant questions to keep him on his toes.

In today's session, Dojun talked to me how about a Chinese flight company was in town and his company was meeting with theirs. He said that the Chinese employees did not have good English, making conversation difficult. I pointed out that he would not run into this problem! Of course he tried to brush off the compliment but it was funny.

Today Dojun and I talked about baseball players for quite a awhile. He was a fan of a player who I had personally met when I was younger! (David Ortiz) This got him really excited so I could get him to listen and speak really emphatically.

I tried something different while working with Dojun today, I had him listen to the video I had prepared for my advanced level listening class that I would be teaching in the next week. It was really hard for him to get thru it even though he wanted to try. It was impossible to build schema without my powerpoint.
