Today I met with my second conversation partner, Abdullah. Abdullah was a great guy to work with, he is not only very eager to talk, but he also has a lot of interesting things to say! He could understand me at normal speed the entire time we were talking, and I was very impressed at his ability to share all of his thoughts and how he was able to move around any speech problem he might have been having. We went, during the CIES lunch hour, to eat at Little Athens, a Greek restaurant, and we had a great conversation where he told me about his home city, about Americans in Saudi Arabia, about Mecca and Medina, and about things he likes to do in Tallahassee. I gave him a few suggestions on things to try in Tallahassee. He was very happy with my suggestions and wants to go try to play pool with me and go fishing. I could see myself being friends with Abdullah and hopefully we will meet again.
