M: Well, when learning a foreign language, I would surround myself in the language, the target language, that I wanted to learn.
W: Surround oneself in the language? I think it is difficult to do that. Can you explain how you do it?
M: Uh, for example, I would watch a movie in that language, uh, which would help me keep motivated to learn vocabulary and phrases.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: Yeah, you'll have a lot of fun by doing so.
W: I see. A little hit of practice every day is very important to language learning.
M: Yes. Regular practice is also better than practicing a lot in one day. Learning a language well needs patience and perseverance.
W: Then what else did you do to learn a foreign language?
M: Well, I would keep a situational notebook.
W: What is that used for?
M: Ur, for example, in a restaurant, you use a certain phrase over and over again, and so if you can remember just one particular phrase in each setting, then you can immediately speak that language and have more confidence and you get more out of learning the language, I think.
W: Really? I'll try that. Thank you for your advice.
M: You're welcome.

W: You not only coin a neat phrase, but turn a girl's head too. Is this the only type of place for lunch?
M: There are some lunch counters, but they serve only a few specialties.
W: Why can't you eat your lunch in a restaurant?
M: Well, you can, but the service isn't as fast. Most people only have half an hour to one hour for lunch. The time is too short for them to eat in a restaurant or run back and forth from home to school or office, because cities are too big.

M: Kids in school take sandwiches, fruit and cookies along with them or eat in school cafeterias.
