Conversation Partner Update

Totally spaced about blogging about my last meeting with my conversation partner, Young Kim.  Last week before fall break we met in the library again.  I helped her with her English homework which was working on saying negative sentences.  I forgot how hard it is to explain what "should not" means!  Some words that we use everyday can be extremely hard to explain, especially not knowing any Korean.  Anyways, I also worked with her on her pronounciation skills.  She read a little story to me and did really well!  The difficult parts were pronoucing spanish words like San Antonio and El Paso.  Totally understandable since she's trying to learn English and not Spanish!  That just made me realize how cultures can just intermix and now those words become a part of our everyday language.  Thank goodness that Mexico and the US shared some of their cultures, what would I do without queso?!
