I met with Ann and Jee for a quick lunch at Chili’s between their classes. Both were very excited to try the restaurant on campus. Ann was a little nervous to order off the menu at first but she underestimated herself. (I noticed this is a trend when practicing foreign languages.) Both Jee and Ann were not sure about what to eat, and were not prepared to tackle the Chili-sized lunch. I suggested they order the triple dipper appetizer from the menu, that way they could pick three different things, not pay as much, split the dish, and still get a large amount of food. They were sold, and really excited to pick from the different dishes. (They ended up with artichoke dip, chicken crispers, and southwestern eggrolls.) Nic and I had to explain the concept of chicken crispers, Katie recommended dips, and while we all waited we snacked on chips and salsa.
Ann described Taiwan to Nic, and Jee told us of her dancing career. We talked about Nic’s family’s dairy farm (which they both wanted to go to) and how Katie was preparing to go to Japan. The timing of the dishes was a bit off, and the girls had to grab a to-go box and hurry back to class. Talking with Ann or with Jee has always been really easy, and sometimes they need to give their English a little more credit.
