Jordan TS#6
On July 15th I tutored Do-jun for the fourth time. I picked out a couple scenes from Desperate Housewives (per his suggestion), and we got along reasonably well. He says it's a little fast, but he didn't have to rewatch the videos more than once or twice to understand rather well what was taking place. I also made sure to go over the difficult vocabulary beforehand and try to talk about things like handicap parking to see what correlations exist in Korea. They apparently have a similar system. I then asked about parts that I thought would be tricky to see if he could figure out what was meant. For example, the lady points to her car at the handicap tag and says, "I have the thingy". The word "thingy" was a bit confusing to him, but we eventually worked out what was meant. The second video turned out to be a bit more challenging for him because they did a bit of roleplay which made the scenario a little harder to read. Add to that a little economics talk, and I had a few things to explain. I'm trying to remember to model things better. I keep defaulting to my usual explain things to death mode, which is less helpful here.
