Yesterday I had my first session with Boram. Although we're classmates, I didn't really get to know her until much later. She wanted to focus on speaking, so for the rest of the time we spent conversing. Joel came in and joined in on our conversation.

She had a few questions for me as a Korean-American who speaks two languages, so I answered her questions and she answered some of mine. Then we got into the topic of slang words and internet lingo. Joel and I went through a few words and their meanings, to which Boram laughed at all of them. Some American slang is quite similar to Korean slang. For example, like how "lol" is to ㅋㅋㅋ (kkk) or "selfie" (taking a photo of yourself) to 셀카 (selca: self-camera). I only noticed a few mistakes when she spoke, but she caught most of her mistakes and made sure to turn to me or Joel if she was saying something correctly or grammatically. 

Overall, it was a fun first session.
