  • @MonoaraNashrum Aw, thanks for your kind words!

  • @CarlaPalma Thank you so much for sharing all of these resources!

  • @CarlaPalma A favor chain is a neat idea!

  • @anelisemachado what kind of study/work do you do in Brazil? That might inspire some ideas about how you could create spaces for more English communication practice.

  • You too!

  • Do you have a target university picked out?

  • Phenomenal! I look forward to learning from you as you explore this course.

  • Yes, thank you @CarlaPalma for this great advice. Seeking mentors and fostering mentoring relationships is a key feature of rewarding graduate study.

  • Aw, that's very kind of you, Monoara. Thank you! And happy new year.

  • Dear Izabelle,
    How kind of you. Thank you!

  • Terrific! We were just talking (yesterday) about the beauty of the natural preserved areas of Chile with a friend in Seoul who had traveled there.

  • What are you currently doing to improve your language skill? What are your communication goals?

  • Glad you're taking the class, Usman. Your greeting brings up the useful topic of location-based greeting customs. Typically in U.S. universities, "ma'am" and "sir" are avoided, going instead for Dr. [family name], Professor [family name], Ms. [family name], Mr. [family name], or another prefix that the person has identified on their website or social media...

  • You too, David. Happy new year.

  • Nice to meet you too, Ezzahra. Happy new year.

  • Thanks for your note, and welcome!

  • Important work in so many ways--environmentally friendly manufacturing, durability, ethical work practices, and more. I look forward to learning more about your textile engineering goals.

  • tell us more! bioprinting blood vessels, skin replacement, organs...?

  • What are you seeking to study?

  • i can imagine really interesting intersections between fashion design and sociology, psychology, cultural anthropology, and economics. Are there social science intersections that interest you?

  • Great. What is your field of study?

  • Terrific.

  • Sounds like a wonderful long-term plan.

  • @AbdirahmanMuse Yours sounds like an exciting and high-impact field. I look forward to learning more.

  • Thanks, that's very helpful!

  • Your work sounds so high-impact. Fantastic. You've already formulated an elevator pitch here!
    I anticipate that it will be interesting for you to compare the features of your target program in the UK with programs profiled in the USA.

  • I'd love to understand more about your motivation to take this class, in that case.

  • Thanks for your enthusiasm about the class, Monoara!

  • Nice to meet you too!

  • Glad to hear you like this list! what do you like about it?

  • Likewise. The first things I think about are friendship and kindess.

  • I am a novice music teacher...I've taught a few private classical guitar lessons over the years, and this summer, will be teaching an introduction to plucked stringed instruments (e.g. guitar, ukelele, charango, mountain dulcimer, lute) to a small group of high school students. I look forward to learning from this diverse community of music teachers--thanks...
