My conversation partner's name is Omar and he is from Kuwait. We met at Starbucks just outside of campus. In a brief introduction he told me he had been living in tallahassee for about one month. He also told me of a vacation he took to colorado last summer. After passing the toefl exam he plans on attending Northridge University in California to study Petroleum Engineering.
Omar is currently in group 1 for speaking, writing, and listening. For reading he is group 2. We briefly talked about soccer and his favorite teams and players. Omar said he would like to study and improve his vocabulary so I suggested he look at a few lists of high frequency words. I offered a few general settings the vocab could be associated with and he chose "around town". We agreed that 20 words with explanations could be a good start. I chose three settings that I thought would be relevant to Omar and picked a few words from each one: restaurant, transportation, and club.
