I plan to use this conversation as a way of showing my growth after my first talk conversation. I can say my improvement upon the language has been maintaining a little, the reason I say this, is because I hesitate in the questions my partner asks, and I didn&#8217;t have the confidence in responding clearly to them. In preparation of my conversation, I wrote my responses on my paper assignment and practice my conversation with a tutor I found at the language learning center. Though I prepared well for my talk abroad conversation, I could have practiced more by attending more tutoring sessions and think about more possibilities on the type of questions my partner may ask. It is probably this mindset I have that led to the result of my conversation. You see I can&#8217;t predict the future of what may happen during our conversation. My partner may go into detail on the question, I probably have audio issues and my partner can&#8217;t hear me, or even I could panic and not give a response. There are a lot of outcomes that could happen during our conversation, because of this my mindset would lead me on into becoming nervous throughout the assignment. Though this assignment seems like a setback for me, I won&#8217;t be disappointed in the result of my learning. I did learn a lot of new French vocabulary and my knowledge of reading and writing in French has expanded dramatically. For example, I have learned that &#8220;Je me couche&#8221; means to I go to bed and &#8220;Je me r\u00e9veille&#8221; means I wake up. <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW80839451 BCX8\">This talk abroad conversation I had with my partner was <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW80839451 BCX8\">a good experi<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW80839451 BCX8\">ence<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW80839451 BCX8\"> for me.
