Ali
Qiqi
Ziyi
Summary: Today, me and my speaking circle group went to a Korean restaurant on Grand River for lunch. Ali drove me there while our Chinese friends walked. We spent about an hour and a half there. Qiqi and Ziyi bought their Chinese friend Emma who was fun to meet. We were supposed to meet there at 1 but we all got there 10 minutes later which was a funny coincidence.
Response: We enjoyed our time there, not to mention the food. It was my first time eating at a Korean restaurant. Ali & Qiqi ordered a spicy soup which they couldn't handle. Ali and I learned how to use the chopsticks properly. We also discussed T.V. shows that we liked and revealed our plans for Spring Break.
Analysis: We understood one another while speaking English. We had no difficulties or what so ever. We teached each other how to say "Thank you & welcome" in Arabic and Chinese. It was tough for them to pronounce some Arabic letters, but we understand why.
Looks like fun. I'm glad you all tried to learn a little bit about one another's languages.
