I miss home. I know that's normal, I know - I know there's nothing that can be done about it. I try to keep that in mind so it won't get to me so much. Everyone is so nice and helpful, even with everything going on. I'm very thankful, and - I would like to think I have made some friends.

[There's a pause, and he sighs softly. He suddenly isn't sure why he decided to start this feed.]

It's weird... one of the things I miss the most is hearing my language. [a little exhale, followed by a contradictory smile.] I wasn't used to speaking English for so long until I came here.

... Are all of you from English-speaking countries?

If you can't find any native speakers, maybe you should try teaching it. —French, you said, right? [ not that he was spying, ok, more like glancing over other conversations ]

[perdre]

[Oh. Interesting endeavor. He sits silently for a moment, pressing his lips in thought.]

Do you think anyone would be interested?

[highhealplz]

Well, I would, for one.

[perdre]

[o-oh.]

Well - I don't know how good a teacher I would be, but that could be nice.

[highhealplz]

You won't know until you try it, right?

Give me a word. Any word!

[perdre]

Give you a word? What - in French?

[highhealplz]

Yeah! And a meaning too, hopefully.

[perdre]

Oh. Uhm, well - je m'appelle Peter. That's how you introduce yourself.

[highhealplz]

Je m'app— je m'appelle Ashraf. [ oh god that was probably terrible, and he makes a face. ] How was that? I'm almost afraid to ask.

[perdre]

Not bad at all. Maybe you can get the accent down with some practice.
