My conversation with Aisha went well.  I felt like I understood most of what she was saying, but there were definitely periods when she was difficult to understand.  The required topics I felt fairly comfortable talking about, even if there were a few words that escaped me. I am definitely discovering that I am better at reading and listening than I am at speaking and writing.  I generally know what words mean when I see or hear them, but have a harder time recalling the words when I am writing or speaking.
