Help Please

[Sc0rPi0n]

I need some help, I am suppose to interview somebody who uses English as a secondary language; my professor was suppose to introduce me to somebody who did but then he forgot and now I am fucked. I just need to ask a few questions...actually I don't care if English is your first language but prefer secondary. Anyone help?

Second learned, or second used? My wife learned spanish first, but she doesn't speak spanish every day anymore. Only when she goes back home, or calls her family.

That will work Khaoz, I will get the questions ready. I really appreciate it

Khaoz, if these questions seem too personal feel free to lie, or if you want it kept private send me via private message. Some people like to talk about their heritage so I will keep the questions here. These questions I am leaving as is, they are kind of tough if you don't know English well so just tell me if there is trouble. And tell your wife I appreciate it.

1A) What is your ethnic group? What symbols or traditions did you participate in that derived from this group? What do you like about your ethnic identity? Is there a time now when your group celebrates its traditions together? What was the neighborhood or community like in which you grew up?


1) Are there any special health or hygiene practices associated with your culture?

2) What are the educational expectations of your culture?

3) Are there any special roles or expectations based on gender?

4) Are there unique activities reserved for different ages?

5) Does religion play an important role in your culture? Examples?

6) What was some of the preferred food growing up?

7) In your culture, was there a specific preferred method to raise your children, how your children would grow up(school/work/respect)

8) How do you feel about work as opposed to family, or social life as opposed to family life?

9) Is there anything that bothers your about customs in the U.S., or something that stands out as being awkward?

10) How does religion effect your culture(life, customs)?

11) Is there a standard dress code (or unique) in your culture? What is it?

12) Do you have any opinions on personal space? Do you think here in America we treat personal space differently than your native culture?

13) How do you feel about the way here in America we treat time management as opposed to your native culture?

14) Is there anything else you feel is unique about your culture as opposed to any other?


I kind of retarded up the questions Khaoz trying to make them easier, lol

When do you need em by?

[Sc0rPi0n]

About 3pm tomorrow would be perfect,

thanks again

[KhaOZ]

I'll send it to her work email, she's asleep now, and I didn't see your reply till jsut a little bit ago. Hopefully she gets it back to me in time.

[KhaOZ]

After reading the questions, I dunno if she'd work for this. It asks things like "here in America compared to your native culture". She was born in California, but Spanish was her first language learned...

She did live in mexico for a number of years though... so maybe.

Yeah, I worded it kind of awkward, the professor didn't do a good job of telling us what he needed, hes only showed up for about half the number of days as he was suppose to. It isn't countries, but the culture
