Skill – Speaking and Vocabulary acquisition

Mohamad is from the United Arab Emirates. His country is located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf.  He works for the government police department.

He needs a lot of practice speaking English. Interestingly we talked about his family in Saudi Arabia. He let me see pictures of his father, sisters and grandfather. Mohamad is pursuing a degree in Public Relations from the Marshall University in West Virginia. After he finishes his CIES class he will move to West Virginia.  He loves to talk about many subjects and he is open minded and respectful of our culture and ideas. It is a lot of fun talking with Mohamad and sharing ideas.

He just bought a sports car. I encourage him to be careful and to drive slow since in his country the speed limit is way higher compared with USA.

The clothing used in the Emirates is quite elegant. Females use the abaya which is really beautiful and elaborate.

Lesson Learned: Mohamad needs a lot of practice acquiring vocabulary and speaking English. He is very outspoken and friendly, ideal qualities for a student of Public Relations. I need to share with him the voice less sounds affecting his culture and which syllable to stress when talking because sometimes is hard to understand with his strong accent.
