In my last conversation partner with Mohammed my friend Mido came and did a little translating for us. It was also good to have a third person just to stimulate the conversation some more. We talked about the Camaro Mohammed is going to buy, spring break and places to vacation in Florida (like Disney world and the Keys). I also asked Mohammed about any critical incident he may have had since he got to Tallahassee. This is his first time in the states so I thought there would have been at least one thing that had happened to him or surprised him. However, he told me that nothing had surprised him. He said this is basically because he already knew a lot about American culture and way of life from movies and TV shows. This shows just how far American culture has spread through mass media. Even though these movies may not be completely accurate representations of our culture, they clearly showed him enough. He even told us that things were going better than he thought they would. He thought it would be sort of boring, but it’s been more exciting. I really hope that Mohammed is enjoying his time here. He has definitely improved his English since I started working with him and I hope that he’s making a lot of friends as well.
