Braden TS #11

Today Dojun surprised me. At one point I told him that he was pretty good at speaking, and he heavily disagreed with me. Despite the fact that he sounds very good once he knows what he wants to say, he takes a little bit of time to translate what he wants in his head from Korean to English. The pauses are pretty natural, but he feels very conscious about that and some word pronunciation. I was a little more nitpicky about pronunciation this time, but he seemed to be fine with it. His fluency has definitely improved since we first started talking, which is probably in part due to the fact that he doesn't use much English at work anymore. We finished off the lesson by talking about something completely different, which was places we want to travel to in the future. I told him about how I want to see more of the pacific northwest like Oregon and Washington, and he talked about how he had never been to the East coast.
