Briggs CP#5

I met with Coo from Korea at, wait for it.... Starbucks : ) She is a former CIES student and Ms. Kim suggested her as a conversation partner since she is looking to practice her English. She and I are three years apart in age and we really hit it off. She and I discussed Tallahassee, her family, and her profession. She in turn, asked me all the same questions. She is really enjoying her stay in America and Tallahassee. She asked me to explain the difference between, "someone told me..." and "I heard...". I explained the differences in use by modeling sentences to her. She then told me how much she enjoyed reading 'Reader's Digest'. Funny, I do too!!! She asked me if it is generally reading material for an older audience than us. I said YES, with a big smile and we shared a good laugh.
