Dallas-TP6

I met with a new tutee Sunghee Jang. She says her nickname is Sunny becuase thats how you pronounce her name. Sunny is from South Korea. Is has been in the states for five months and is planning on teaching English when she returns. This first session we just got to know eachother and exchanged information to setup a schedule that we could meet. She is around a level 1-2 stage. She is taking classes language classes at TCC. Next year she plans on enrolling at CIES. Her husband also is attending FSU pursuing his Masters in Public Administration. He works for the government in South Korea. Although she has taken English in Korea since third grade she has not had many conversation partners to practice communicating with. She wants to focus on reading, speaking, and vocabulary skills. Today she brought in the school newspaper and review some on the things vocabulary within the text. She keeps a really organized notebook for all of the new vocabulary words she comes across. I find her diligence extremely admirable. Today we discuss terms like nosey, the pronunciation of squeaky, packed, etc. We also talked about the difference and similar uses for 'F' and "Ph" as the Fuh sound. She appears to be really eager and excited and so am I.
