    I had to look up a list of words ending with the "chi" sound and they seem fairly low-frequency. I didn't understand until I realized that Brazil speaks Portuguese, which is very different from what we think of when we think Hispanic languages; not sure if this assumption has much merit to it though. What is it that you are reading?

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
