Khaled and I met at the coffee lounge during lunch to catch up. His teacher was there as well, and we had a brief conversation about International Coffee Hour, and Khaled's love for Arabic coffee. I invited him to come along with Fahad and I tomorrow, and he said he might come! He already signed up to take the IELTS, which is coming up soon. He said his listening skills need work, as he's still in Group 2 whereas in all other aspects he's in Group 3. I offered to go over his homework, or go to the library to check out an IELTS prep book, but he said he'd rather focus on talking. We talked about restaurants around Tallahassee, so I recommended him Tijuana Flats and Gordo's. I also showed him the Transloc app so he can take the bus around town.
The mistakes were few and far in between when Khaled was speaking, and he's very comfortable with expressing himself. He only needed occasional reminders on vocabulary, such as "pour" or saying "cup" instead of "bowl" when "pouring tea". Next time, I think I will bring my own listening activities, because although these conversations help, I'd like it to be more structured.
