Dwinetta CP 2

Hello again,

Aside from helping Venus with prepositions, we decided to feed our addiction to starbucks again! We met up again at Starbucks to chat it up a little more. Over orange blossom tea, capuccino, and chicken paninis, we discussed ourselves a little more. I found out that where she lives, she is not really forced to speak english at all because she lives with her sister and other people who speak spanish. Then when she hangs out with the other CIES students, its not native english. So she said we have to hang out more often. I told her that I am going to take her out of her comfort zone so she will be forced to use her english. When we were at Starbucks she ordered with ease, but I want to take her to the grocery store and the movies where she doesn't have her sister to translate or speak for her. I told her I wanted to see the princess and the frog and she got really excited and said she wanted to see it too. She told me before that it is easy for her to watch cartoons in english so it works out for the both of us! We instant message each other throughout the week through blackberry and she communicates well through it, I just have to correct spelling and sentence structure. So far Venus and I are having a good time and I can see her english improving if she hangs out with me and more english speakers more often. Thats it for now. Netta Out!
