Savannah CP #2

I took Igor to Po Boys to see a local band play.  We met up with three of my friends.   The music was loud but we made sure to include him in conversation.  There were a few times when my friends were talking and he told me he had no idea what they were saying at all.  I told him it will get better the more time he spends speaking and being around English.   He said he liked the band, which was a rock band.  They played some Pink Floyd and U2 which was nice.  I explained they were popular songs.

He asked me what "Shmacked" meant and I had no idea what he was talking about until he showed me and "I'm shmacked" video of FSU.  I told him it was a video of the big parties around FSU and he will see some during the Clemson tailgates.  I was surprised that was what he knew of FSU.   My friend Windy took about thirty minutes to explain what being politically correct meant.  I thought that was too advanced for his level but after her persistence I think he understood the general idea of it.  I had to tell my friends to slow down a little when talking to him.   I made sure to do it in a nice way as to not embarrass him. We talked about Brazilian beer for a little and he said the most popular beer is Bud Light Platinum. He said he enjoyed himself very much, and we enjoyed him!

  1. Pink Floyd and old rock music seem to be popular in Brazil. Did he by chance try the fried pickles? Sounds like a fun outing!
