Pak TP#1

A few weeks ago I met with my tutee and we had dinner at his friend's apartment.  He was under the practices of Ramadan and he invited me to have dinner.  During the dinner, we introduced ourselves and I discovered that he was from Kuwait.  Apparently everyone, except for me, was from Kuwait.  I found that his speaking skills were quite advanced and we talked about our families.  We also talked about Ramadan as well.  He told me that Ramadan served to make people humble and appreciative with the food that they can eat along with the things in life that they have.  He also stated that it also made them understand how beggars feel in order to have self humility.  I learned a great deal of culture, religion, and better understood my tutee's level of English speaking and listening comprehension.  We scheduled our next meeting the following Sunday, but we had to cancel it.
