For this tutoring session, we decided it would be fun to go to the Greek festival. I paired with my friend Harrison to help with this session. While spending time with our tutees, we found both common ground as well as differences in culture. In casual conversation we introduced a few idioms (coin a phrase, hump day) as well as some common phrases used in English(thumbs up, that sucks, she/he is hot). We also had the opportunity to introduce several new vocabulary words(critic, review, cast, plot, trademark). We arrived around eight and ended up staying until just a little after closing time (10:00). We had a lot of fun taking in the sights and sounds as we took note of an unfamiliar culture together. We drew comparisons between our own cultures and Greek culture (what we could see of it). We also learned some Greek words together. We obviously talked a lot about movies and which movies are popular in each of the tutee's countries. Harrison and I are really into movies so it worked out well. I started to get cold at the end of the night so we decided to call it a night.
