I met with Ki Woong Cho again today and it was another rewarding experience. We have decided to keep meeting every Friday morning over Skype in order to keep practicing his English skills. He comes back to America a little later in the year around September/October but he wants to really improve his pronunciation with these lower frequency words. We had another talk today about the overall state of affairs in Turkey with the military trying to overthrow the government. As usual, I am surprised by the perspectives of people from different countries. When you look at history, it's written by the winner usually. So, that leaves so many different views and versions of the same story that I've been hearing since I was young; "America is the greatest country in the world" or "America must always be the number one country". So, I tried to explain to him how our history is taught over here and after much discussion we came to a mutual understanding. He also explained much about the South Korean government and that the history is very similar to America's history due to the amount of influence we have had on their society.
