Dallas TP7

Met with Sunny and she brought her textbooks for me to checkout. We went to a restaurant to expound on the American experience. I provided prompts for her to use when ordering a communicating with the waiter. She didn't seem to comfortable talking to the waiter. I would say that her speaking is around a level one low level two. She can get her point across but I spent a good time correcting and redirecting her. I trying to have her repeat the correct versus just having her acknowledge the statements. we reviewed several vocabulary terms. One in particular was "cuddle". Apparently someone sent her a text about cuddling and she got offending because she did not know what the term meant. After I explained what it was she was somewhat relieved but still not happy with the comment. We exchange information about our customs when it came to going out to eat with friends. I think it was a good session because she would repeat some of the things that I said and write them down. I was told that I have a dialect, because she had some difficulty understanding me at times. We talked about possible homework assignments and reviewed some reading assignment in her book. We flipped through some vocabulary cards to close out our sessions. WE discussed different terms for the food on the menu, such as the difference between ribs and prime rib. Beef and bison (buffalo). Our next meeting will be in the library. I going to try to find some beginner reading lessons share.
