On sunday I met with Abdullah for a Tutoring session and a conversation session. I told him I needed to meet with him as much as possible because all of my other partners have either dissapearred or moved. We started out with some vocab from his Toefl practice book. Some of the words we went over included Anticpate, flood, plunge, and catastropic. We did the normal lesson of defining it in several differnet ways, I give him an example in a sentence and then he gives me an example and writes it down. I explained to him that some of the words in the practice book were relativitly difficult for his level and not to worry if he is still confused. We went over the Arabic equivalent and I have him expalin to me the different meaning of the Arabic terms, using proper grammar and pronuciation. I thought this would be  good practice for speaking. He often uses improper grammar in speech, although I can always understand him. I told him to take his time and think what he is saying when he made a mistake I corrected him. I went over some vocab having to do with news media because he couldn't make it to my class the next day because of an eye doctor appointment.  The words we went over were Republican, Democrat, Bias, and Censorship. We didn't go over them as much as I wanted to, but I think he got a good understanding of the terms.
