# data[].attributes.body
At first we didn't know about what to talk but now we do

# data[].attributes.body
We once played a game called words with friends 2 and we had so much fun we played it in Spanish and in English

# data[].attributes.body
I think everything is great I ain't got a suggestion

# data[].attributes.body
That we got along well and we have some similar interests

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely our first call. I was so excited and happy, and inside a little nervous to meet her and the video call was so funny and awesome, she made me feel in confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
The first time I talked with my partner, I didn't know how to continue the conversation, I was so scary imagining that I will not be able to have a good or interesting conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
When we have dinner together with our family, we were talking about all you can imagine and we were also able to converse in English and Spanish on some topics.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm comfortable in the structure of the program so far. So, I think I don't have a suggestion yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that, in my opinion, turned out well is the fact that we were able to get to know each other and that each of us learned more of the language that we practiced respectively. I think it was kind of fun.

# data[].attributes.body
One challenge I had to overcome was that I had never spoken to a native English speaker and that made me nervous, but over time I got used to it and now I am more confident about it.

# data[].attributes.body
We like to talk about things that happen in the places where we live and we also liked to play a cell phone game together called "Among Us" which is quite fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I have any suggestion to improve that part, for me it is good enough.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the best things is that you selected very interesting partners, in my case I enjoy listening her stories!

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I think that coordinate our schedules was a little bit hard and we weren't be able to overcome at all, even so there is a great experience.

# data[].attributes.body
We played with some "get to know questions" and it was so fun, we took turns to ask and answer and it worked to find things on common.

# data[].attributes.body
In my case I had to wait for a new partner because the first was so busy but nevertheless I love to talk with a native speaker and I can say that she is amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, the main challenge was that we often had nothing else to say and it was akward because we sould be silent for minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we didn't do anything special other than talking, but I am going to take the suggestions from above.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I have any

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I really appreciate was that we had a lot in common and was easy to talk about different topics, I enjoyed going for a virtual walk in her neighborhood

# data[].attributes.body
Something hard to cope with for me was my schedule when classes  started, I think we both were busy and sometimes we have long times without talking each other

# data[].attributes.body
We learnt a lot from each other, I couldn’t stop laughing sometimes

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe more activities with partners (like icebreaker padlets ) but with all of us, would be even more interesting

# data[].attributes.body
It all went well! We talk a lot about school and college and trips and music and many things hahaha, and sometimes her little brother shows up to talk (actually, he is interrupting his sister hahaha and that's soooo funny)

# data[].attributes.body
Well... at first I didn't know what I was going to talk about (plus, I was sooo nervous about talking to a native English speaker), but now that we know each other, I feel more confident.

# data[].attributes.body
We played to the tongue twisters. Enough said.

# data[].attributes.body
EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! This is an incredible experience. It would have been awesome to meet the partners in person if COVID 19 had not existed at all...

# data[].attributes.headline
What went really well: our similar schedules

# data[].attributes.subject
What went really well: our similar schedules

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like something that went really well, other that we got along really easily, it that we haven´t had any problem with the schedule of our calls, it´s like we always find a time to call that suits both of us, which is awesome.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I felt a little nervous, but she was really nice to me and made me feel comfortable right away!

# data[].attributes.body
We sometimes practice her Spansh, and that is so fun.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe to do more activities with all the partners and JenA alumni, like the Summer Bonfire! That was so much fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that could interact very well, the vibes were good, but after both began classes we started to have schedule problems

# data[].attributes.body
without the schedule problems, we had the problem of my english, but after a few calls I felt more comfortable with my english

# data[].attributes.body
the time she met my sister and I met her friend, also went I taught her some spanish

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe try to do more activities like ice breakers, partner challenges, etc

# data[].attributes.body
I think that even with the difference of culture and language. We can really understand each other, we both have a very nice vibes and she really try to understand my spanish

# data[].attributes.body
We bpoth have a very difficult situation because I couldn't comunicate withher in a long time, because of her schedule or because we do not use the same apps of communication on a daily basis. Fortunately, we start talking again and I trying to have another call

# data[].attributes.body
We are very compatible and that made all our calls enjoyable. There is always what to talk about and also many reasons to laugh.

# data[].attributes.body
That sometimes we were both very pressured by the school but it was easy to find free time and destress a bit talking.

# data[].attributes.body
Create a playlist on spotify with the songs we liked the most.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have any suggestions, you made everything quite enjoyable and easy for us.

# data[].attributes.body
She and I played “basta” and she liked the game coz she learn new vocabulary in Spanish and me too in English.
I appreciated she could attend the videocalls we’ve been making.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that each other had to agree was our times. Constantly we had to pospone our meetings due to the homework or other facts.

# data[].attributes.body
We played “Among us” jsjsjsjsjs. That was really cool. She was the importer in the game 😦

# data[].attributes.body
I really would like that we could have activities as the “bonfire” but in a time that most people could attend. For example the weekend.
But I think most thing were great.

# data[].attributes.body
The talks in general were very good. We understood each other perfectly and we were able to share photos of what we like, the food of our countries and where we live. Thus knowing "first hand" our culture.

# data[].attributes.body
Finding free time for both of us was complicated, as well as communicating, because she does not have WhatsApp, so we had to use Instagram and it's not the same. But with frequent communication we do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best thing was that we shared screen in the video call and looked for what we like. So it did not stayed in words and imagination, we could see and know the real thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe give us some suggestions for activities, because at first when we are just getting to know each other it is difficult to find something on how to pass the time, but everything in general was fine :)

# data[].attributes.body
in general all videocalls were great, but the last one was very well because I show her, my town and she show me her university

# data[].attributes.body
there was sometimes that I had problems to express some things in english, but she helped me or just I said it in spanish

# data[].attributes.body
I show her my town and she show me her amazing university

# data[].attributes.body
maybe it could be that, more activities like icebreakers or things like that to be more fun.

# data[].attributes.body
We hadn’t that much interaction, but what went really well were the deep chats and thoughts we shared.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge we had was time. With my partner initiating university and me being a high school senior, we had lots of other commitments. However we still fixed our schedules in order to have time for our virtual reunions.

# data[].attributes.body
What worked for us was simply just to talk. I loved how we both shared so much about our goals, projects, customs, aims, and more. My partner was the best listener of them all.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of our academic events, it would be nice that we were suggested a schedule in order to make the reunions a little more prioritarian.
Besides that, everything was perfect, and the events where we got all together with our respective partner was amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the best practice or an activity is what we do every days, talk ech other tell us how our proyect isgoing etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my only suggestion is have more activities to meet each other.

# data[].attributes.body
For me and my partner the schedule was relly difficult because when he had clases i was free and when i had classes he was free soit was difficult to find a time to have a videocall

# data[].attributes.body
In general we are getting well but the only thing is that we cant have so much videocall but instead of that everything okey.

# data[].attributes.body
In general, everything was very interesting, it was great to know about her hobbies, ideas and what things she does to pass the time during the coronavirus, she is so different to me but we had a lot of fun

# data[].attributes.body
I think our schedules were a great challenge because we are both very busy girls and at the beginning we did not know what to talk about.

# data[].attributes.body
Watching a movie together was a lot of fun because it was comedy, she also showed me her neighborhood and it was a great experience because her neighborhood is so beautiful and I could see her pet running in the grass. In our meettings if we had a question in English or Spanish we always explained everything to us.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view everything is fine but more activities with our partners such as games, padlets, etc. would be fine

# data[].attributes.body
Our conversations were very funny, we were both very open. We used to talk about our tastes, series, high school, our friends, we got along pretty well and I hope that friendship can go on much longer.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a great time with my partner, she is an incredible person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most difficult for both of us is finding  the accurate time to meet with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
We talked about very cool topics, we played online games, we did room tours and we even took very funny personality tests.

# data[].attributes.body
I miss a fun call with everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
We were both very distracted, we had trouble answering messages to contact each other because of the multiple responsibilities we have. But we always try to agree, and stay on top of things.

# data[].attributes.body
It was one of our talks because we were able to contact each other a lot. She found it hard to speak Spanish out of pity, and I sometimes spoke English; that bond helped us a little to lose our grief by speaking our foreign language

# data[].attributes.body
It was one of our talks because we were able to contact each other a lot. She found it hard to speak Spanish out of pity, and I sometimes spoke English; that bond helped us a little to lose our grief by speaking our foreign language

# data[].attributes.body
All the conversations we had about our life and culture, I really liked to know more about her! Also, that it was possible to do videocalls.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that we were both pretty busy because of school and sometimes it was difficult to schedule a call. Nevertheless, there was always some time to make it, so it was not a big deal.

# data[].attributes.body
We did a room tour and talked about a Oedipus Rex (the Sophocles play) because we were reading it at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps it would have been great to have suggestions for activities we could make, sometimes we ran out of ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
We didn't had so much interaction at the begining but it was a good experience to me to know a new person and share our culture, I enjoyed every conversation we had

# data[].attributes.body
A challenge that I had to my partner was organize our times because sometimes she was busy and I was free or she was free and I was busy... but we found a time to hang out

# data[].attributes.body
For me it was the conversations we had via message because this way it was easier for us to get in touch

# data[].attributes.body
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when the very first day of our partner reveal I saw an e-mail from Harsh with his phone number and a nice greeting,

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that to find a suitable time for meetings was the hardest part, yet not impossible.

# data[].attributes.body
Meeting each other for the first time was exciting, we wer really nervous.

# data[].attributes.body
my partner was always busy so I had to wait a long time for a reply. Sometimes it took days to answer me.

# data[].attributes.body
Actually, we haven't talked that much:( and I think we have different interests.

# data[].attributes.body
I think having more information or follow-up on the partners, because my partner was very busy and we could never speak well.

# data[].attributes.body
Talk with Giselle is always so easy, she is really comprensive with me, she had teach me a lor of things about her culture that i had never imagined, she is really funny , so her humor and mine are really similar, everytime I got stuck in the conversation she helped me back, so we will still talking, she's just an amazing person.

# data[].attributes.body
We played some games while videocalling and it was fun :)

# data[].attributes.body
More casual talks with our partners, it's fun and interesting :)

# data[].attributes.body
In a meeting we searched our favorite songs on YouTube while sharing screen to know each other´s music tastes better.

# data[].attributes.body
Our schedule are very different, and she had a lot of things about university and things like that, also I had my responsabilities with my proyect team so get a good time for both of us was really diffucult sometimes, but even if she had a lot of things to do she always take a time for me, and I really apreciate that.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be interesting to see them integrated from time to time in the meetings about "family dialogue" or neighborhood workshops. Always as long as they are able and willing to do it, of course.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the time because of time we organize our mettings hours or one day before, so we had never organize like a specific activity to do, but I would choose to do that by the same way hundred times again, even if we spend our time just talking I really love every minute we spend together, she advised and motived me about a lot of things, and every talk we had taught me

# data[].attributes.body
I think alll was great, just that I think that would be more easy if the partners were from hight school , the age is not a problem but have a partner from university result a litlle difficult sometimesbecause they don't have a lot of time and results really diffult to meet with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though we haven't a lot of things in common, we can talk a lot, he is a nice person and I love talking with him.

# data[].attributes.body
We have very different schedules, but we are solving this issue.

# data[].attributes.body
In the weekends, sometimes we play games like Fortnite, we spent a really good time toghether.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe it would be better if we spend instead of a family group or a workshop meeting, a session with our partners

# data[].attributes.body
Our schedules sometimes didn't match or unexpected situations arose.

# data[].attributes.body
We talked about Mexican and American culture, there are many similarities and differences, I loved talking to him.
