CP #3 Madison

Friday I had a house warming party and decided to invited my conversation partners and my tutee (the CIES student, not the 3rd grader). Erico (my tutee) and Jessica came to my party and they brought two friends: Barbara and Emily. I talked with them for the first 15-20 minutes that they were there to make sure that they felt comfortable. Then I asked them if they'd like me to introduce them to some of my American friends. I introduced them to my friends Sam, a girl who was originally supposed to be in our TEFL class, and Dorie. They talked to my friends and met some new people. Later, they came into my living room while everyone else was outside and the five of us danced, it was a lot of fun :). After they left the party, Erico texted me to thank me for inviting them, and then he invited me to go to Coliseum with him the next day, but I didn't go. Erico has texted me several times asking my advice about several American customs. For example, yesterday he texted me saying that he bought beer at Publix and he was wondering if he could walk outside with it. He also asked me to help him find a TV, so if anyone is giving one away or selling one for a reasonable price let me know!!! Also, Jessica added me on Snapchat today. I am excited to start snapchatting my Brazilian friends!

  1. That's great that you had your conversation partner and tutee over. In all of my years hanging out with the international students through Friends of Internationals when I was a student, I was amazed to find out how many of students that I hung out with had never been invited into an American's house. Inviting someone into your home is a great way to share your culture.
