Jordan TS#8

On July 24 I tutored Do-jun for the fifth time. We kept to the Desperate Housewives videos. Starting off we reviewed the more troublesome of the videos from last week. Since we had discussed in detail the events that took place, he would know what was coming, but after a week it was still good listening practice because he couldn't have remembered any exact details of what was said. In the end he felt pretty good with it, but there were still two difficult parts to go over a little. Then we moved to the next video. I went over some difficult words beforehand, but the concepts turned out to be more interesting than I had planned. This video was full of "polite" understatement and hidden meanings, the extent of which I had not realized until we were in full discussion. By the end we had things sorted out, but I was amazed by how easily I overlook difficult concepts simply because they are second nature to me.
