Today Jeah and I met after a brief break, we worked on learning new words and what they mean. She loves to draw so I let her draw the new words she learned.
Trying to further my evaluation of Jeahs skill we completing a reading assignment. Where we rfead brief articles and answered questions together. This testing her comprehension, which she is pretty good at. I've noticed if she reads out loud she seems to understand stuff better.
Heewon and I met for lunch at Sonny's BBQ on July 3. I wanted her to meet with my tutee Zhou, and my native-speaker friend James. We got to know more about her interests and her parents and friends. We talked about how they felt as non-native speakers in the US. We discussed food and differences in the culture surrounding it. I wanted to take her to a BBQ place because the following day was the Fourth of July. I asked if she had any plans for it and she said she had plans with people from her church. I found out that the church she goes to is the same one James's friend goes to. The church is a Korean one in Tallahassee and has a lot of the Korean community. I asked if she had gone to the restaurant in Tallahassee called "Korean BBQ." She had not gone there and I introduced her to various Korean restaurants and Asian markets.
July 30th When working with Jael I realized on paper her English is almost perfect she can write sentences, uses some grammar, and knows a wide array of words. Her biggest issue is speaking and having conversations, so today was all conversations and reading. Jeah read a couple short stories and we just had a conversation about them.
