Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned:

Juan is getting ready to start his first year of school in the US, and with the new normal of COVID and wasn't sure what to expect. We spoke about his concerns and my experience in school & ESOL classes. I told him about how I did virtual high school classes and wasn't sure if it would be the same for him. I told him it would be a good transition probably and to look at the bright side. I also taugh him about junior year being the most important and how and when to start applying for colleges when he is ready. In  Colombia the first two years of college aren't like in the USA and in high school they take more inclusive courses depending on the school.
