01 - After lesson journal
I started taking English lesson on italki again.
Yesterday I spoke with Pavlo, an english teacher from Toronto based now in Georgia, a little country near Armenia and Azerbaijan. I had an enjoyable conversation. I hadn't find a free conference room in my office, so I talked walking the center of Milan. It was a very hot day, like in many country of Europe, in this summer.
Pavlo told me a very strange thing: every Italian that had take a trial lesson with him, despite what the student had say, doesn't take another lesson with him.
Maybe this behaviour is a cultural influence of us Italians: in part we always say "Yes" ("Yes, surely I'll do"; "I'll call back next week"; ...); in part it's our way to not be too direct.
