I met with Sultan for conversation. He was very excited about his upcoming BBQ. We spent some time role playing party conversations.
He brought his lunch, which he does most days. He really enjoys cooking. He said the ingredients for some recipes are difficult to find here, so he is learning to improvise.
We spoke a little while about food and restaurants here in the US.
He was having some of the same problems as the other students as far as being nervous about ordering in a restaurant. I happened to have a take out menu with me from a restaurant I had ordered from the night before. He had some questions about the items that go on top of a sandwich, what the difference was between sandwich, burger and a wrap. I also went through the various condiments that were offered and explained what they were.
We practiced the proper way to order and how to answer the myriad of questions that are always asked when ordering, especially any kind of sandwich or wrap.
All in all, he seemed more confident by the end of our time together.
