On this day I met with my CIES conversation partner and tuttee because they both live in the same apartment complex. I decided to have a game day with them so I brought board games for us to play. I had trouble finding the apartment because once I got there I had to call my tuttee for help and of course her English still needs work haha. They ended up meeting me outside somewhere and walking me the rest of the way. Once we got inside I pulled out my laptop and they offered me snacks and something to drink like the gracious hosts they are. I pulled up pandora radio website and made a station that would play music in English and in Portuguese to make it more fun and lower their effective filters a little. After a little small talk I pulled out the ESL board games I had gotten from online and application on my phone that simulates rolling a dice since I didn't have a real one. The game was practicing talking about situations with family and friends. This was a topic they enjoying talking about so it got them talking more and thinking less which was good. We also talked about their favorite American music artists as well as back in Brazil. My tutee really likes Bruno Mars. I had my guitar with me and I know some Bruno Mars songs so I played some music for them. They couldn't resist taking instagram videos of me and putting them online. I didn't mind though. They are really sweet. I plan on bringing them to an open mic show with me eventually.
