Date/Time: 4:00 - 5:00 PM (6/18)
Location: CIES
Topic/Skill: Idioms
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
Today, I met with Ignacio at CIES. Again, learning idioms through casual conversations is the best way for me, so we talked a lot this time as well. The topics were from dialects in China, accents in different regions in the US and Venezuela， which is where Ignacio was born. He shared how his family moved to the US in the 90s. "Don't throw stones at the glass house" was what I learned. It means there is no need to criticize a person whom everyone thinks is a bad person. We talked a lot more after. Talking to a native speaker is really a good way to learn a second language.
