Location:  Zoom

Topic discussed: Getting to know each other

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned:  Iryna and I met each other in late March and we learned a lot about each other. I learned that in the Ukraine, university means higher education and college means trade school. So when talking to her I had to be conscious of my word choice. In terms of education, Ukrainian students finish high school at 16 and 17. Also they study 20 subjects at a time each school year.  I also learned that in the Ukrainia culture they are less friendly than Americans. They also mentioned that they view Americas friendliness as weird. At first impressions, Ukrainain are more conserved and cold. However, when meeting Iryna she was the opposite of that and she was extremely welcoming.
