Marco TS#13

Today I wanted to get Dojun talking a lot, so I asked him what he did during the day. He mentioned he went to go see a movie with his girlfriend. I didn't know he had a girlfriend so he went on to tell me how they met, how long they've known each other, their time in college, the fact that she still lived with her parents, which transitioned us into his living arrangements. He mentioned that South Koreans usually live at home until they get married, when I asked why he lived alone, he stated that it was because he had to move for work. We then spoke about the military at length and his time in the service in the Air Force. So for about the first 35 minutes he was telling me about all this as I coached to on how to conjugate verbs properly, use complete sentences, pronounce different words, arranging sentence structure and so on; though to be fair he is already fairly good. Finally we revisited the tongue twisters, but this time I made him say them faster than he was used to; and he did fantastically well. I have tasked him with continuing his practices with the tongue twisters and to get faster, but he is well on his way to being very proficient in the English language.
