Hyo Sang and I met at CIES and watched the women world cup. During the game he would ask me questions about things happening in the game, or about events that happened during the past week that he did not know how to respond to. We discussed the difference between the multiple meanings of the word "mean." Also, we talked about ways to tell someone that something is awkward. For instance, Hyo Sang was playing pictionary and was given a card that had something on it which he was uncomfortable drawing. He said that he just smiled and laughed it off, but wanted to know a better way to share his feelings. I told him that one could say, "I'm sorry, but I am uncomfortable drawing this," or "I would feel awkward if I drew this." I was also able to ask him about some cultural differences between the U.S. and S.K. like the proper way to introduce yourself to someone, and table manners.
