Wednesday was a follow-up on mine and Charles' lesson on approaching American girls. When immersing oneself in a new environment and culture, there is a curiosity of romantic norms, the infringement of which can be embarrassing and potentially dangerous. In our previous lesson on approaching American girls, I explained context and some basic phrases to use when approaching women in our society. Not necessarily an academic endeavor, the subject drew great interest from Charles. Conversations based on this theme were the most engaged I saw Charles. He told me about his implementation of some of our previous work. He expressed how practicing the basic phrases I showed him helped his confidence. Although he couldn't recall some of the most crucial phrases, he did say that the focus on those phrases helped him read and pronounce other words better, as well as recognizing our learned vocabulary in his classes. I had planned on going over phone etiquette and vocabulary, but our discussion of his experience with the material took precedent.
