My fabulous WSU partners!!

My amazing partners!

I had wonderful communication with WSU students on Tuesday. The extension students went to WSU and we met many students who are learning English in the Language Center. They study English because they want to enter WSU as the students. They came from many countries and they study English very hard because they have strong motivation. My partners were Taiwanese and they spoke English very fluently. We talked about many things, such as their own countries and language. In Taiwan, they told me that Chinese is spoken. I know Chinese a little bit so they were surprised to hear that. Also, when we talked about Disney, I found that the word Disney is pronoun the same is Chinese and Japanese. I didn’t remember how they said it but pronunciation had many points of similarity. Also, They said they can understand Kanji because Japanese use it. I thought language is interesting. Also, to find some similarities between Japanese and other languages is very fun. I taught them some Japanese. One of the boy students likes girls very much so I taught them “Charao” which means that man who likes girls in Japanese. I was just kidding but his nickname became Charao finally. We laughed the whole time at WSU so I had a fabulous conversation with them!

We had unbelievable lunch experience at WSU. When we went to the cafeteria with our partners, we were surprised because the cafeteria was a buffet-style! I had never seen this kind of cafeteria so I was impressed. Also, we could have a free ticket of food so I chose a lot of delicious foods. I found a cake and ice cream so I added them, of course! Everyone asked whether I could eat everything. In fact, I could eat everything except the french fries. When I ate all the food, everyone suddenly added their French fries to my plate! I was surprised and asked to eat their but they didn’t eat them. Also, they said I didn’t have to leave food because it was American rules! It wasn’t fair but they helped me to eat a little bit. Moreover, I surprised where we put a plate when we finished eating the lunch. There was big machine and we just put a plate on the machine. At MWU, we have to wash dishes a little bit and put them on the conveyor. It was interesting for us! I thought how convenient it was! It was a very impressive experience at WSU, too!

As you can see, I had a fabulous opportunity at WSU. To have conversation is very important for us to learn English and cultures. I want to go there again if I can!
