Today I had another Skype tutoring session with DJ. We started with our usually conversation about our weekends. He told me he had a 3 day weekend because Monday was Buddha's Day. DJ told me about how he went to the park. He is very good at telling me things and then expressing his opinion of that thing. The only mistake he still has trouble with is the word "the". He forgets to use it sometimes. Otherwise he is very good at expressing himself. Then he told me about how he got new glasses because he broke his. He wanted to tell me that frames in Korea are cheaper than in the U.S. I then was confused on how he got his glasses the same day he went in, Usually in the U.S. they send the prescription and frames to be fitted with the lenses. It usually takes about a week to get new glasses. In Korea he explained that usually they make the lenses right there in the store. At the beginning he did not understand my question about how he got the glasses so fast. I tried many times to explain it but what worked in the end was me explaining the process of how we get glasses here and then asking him if it is the same in South Korea. This seems like the method he likes the best. DJ ended with asking me what the word procrastination means. I tried to explain it with synonyms and example sentences but he still was a little confused. I told him I would try and explain it to him better next time after I did some research on it. I plan to do some research and find a better way to explain it to him next time. Every time I speak with him he is more and more willing to talk. This time I barely got a word in because he wanted to express himself so much about different things. Every time something would pop into his head he would immediately want to say it. I am very happy that he is so comfortable talking with me.
