Tony TP#5

Hunwoo and i met in Storizer again but I decided that he needed something more challenging. Instead of reading articles noor correcting grammer i decided to engage him in a variety of issues which were complex and would require him to streach his English skills. We first talked about what he thought of the politics between North and South Korea, particularly if he thought the North had nuclear weapons and the different views on reunification. As he spoke i created another list of his errors and words which did not match the complexity of the ideas he was trying to convey. When he was finished i explained how they enhanced his abilty to communicate along with their definitions and the subtle differences between those on the list and the words he had used. Secondly i asked him about Korean dating culture since it had supplied some humorous stories in the past. Before he began to speak i asked him to take out his list of phrases and try to apply at least half of them in the conversation and to check off the ones that he had used. Indeed he managed to do that and with not much difficulty actually.
