Conversation Partner #5

Today, Tracy and I met outside the TCU bookstore like we usually do. This was the first time she came without her sister, who was filming a project with an advertisement theme. At first, I couldn't figure out what Tracy was saying, but after awhile she googled the word on her phone and I finally realized she was trying to say "advertisement," which I would have never guessed if she hadn't showed me the word. For a few minutes we went over the pronunciation of the word slowly a broke it down into singular syllables for her to work with. After much improvement in her pronunciation, she thanked me like three times for teaching her a new word. It's incredible to think back to when we met and could barely talk to the large vocabulary she has today. Then, she invited me to the IES social and said it may be boring and we both laughed. She often talks about how much homework she has all the time and how often she naps, which I'm envious of. Tracy has been a truly great conversation partner. I'll be sad when I have my last meeting with her on Wednesday.
