  2. Speaking
    1. Prepare for a conversation with your language partner.  Write some questions about returning to a place.  Has your language partner ever lived someplace else, then returned for a visit?  Have they ever had friends or family leave and then return?  Did the relationships remain the same?  How had the place changed?  Etc.
    2. Meet with your language partner.  Try your best to only speak in English for 30 minutes.  Of course, be sure to then provide your partner with an equal amount of time to practice our native language as well.

    1. Write a summary of your exchange with your partner on the Mixxer blog.  Write a blog post about someone returning home or to another place they once knew very well.
