Braden TS #2

Today I talked with Dojun about how life looks with COVID in Korea. He lives in Seoul, and the lockdowns there are very strict. The country has not been good with getting vaccines to its citizens, so there are still mask mandates everywhere, and people cannot gather in groups larger than 3. This is hard on Dojun and his wife, because they just had a baby, and it's hard for his parents to make the trip from Busan, which is 5 hours away by train. I asked about his days, and he said that they are mostly the same. He works from home, and there isn't anywhere open to go out even if he had time to with the baby. The only corrections I really needed to give him this session were a few pronunciation errors and a little bit of clarification on countable and uncountable nouns. Otherwise, he takes a lot of pauses but makes very few mistakes.
