On Monday, 12/10, I met with John Seo for the second time. I had not seen him for several weeks as I had just been meeting with his two kids, Jason and Sally, for tutoring practice with their mom at the Public Library once a week since I first met John at CIES. This time he asked if I could just speak with him for 20-30 minutes instead of working with his kids, as Jason had soccer practice and it was my understanding Sally had a similar obligation. We chatted outside the front doors to the library, and I helped him work on his English a bit with, perfecting his pronunciation on some common phrases he was expecting to use more and more frequently, such as "Who will you spend your holiday break with?" Though, in retrospect I realize a more correct form would have been "With whom will you be spending your holiday break?"
After answering a few more of his questions, John asked if I could work on more conversational phrases with his kids, and specifically Thursday when it was arranged that I would meet with him and Jason at the library. He also asked if I could work on some 'editing'-type skills with his son, such as 'find the error in this sentence' drills. I'm looking forward to working with Jason and Sally again, and hopefully I will be able to meet with them at least a few more times before holiday break begins.
