Thalal interviewing Jessica. An interview in English and French:
Q: qu’est-ce que tu as apprécié chez les étudiants marocains pendant votre séjour au Maroc?
A: I appreciated how the Moroccan students shared their talents with us. We heard Nabil rap over a Sykpe call from New York City to Rabat. Talal played the piano for us at our hotel in Tangier. We found out that he produced all the music for the 'By the Work of Her Hands' short film. Most impressively, I really got to see Yassmina's passion for film through her work ethnic. Last but not least, we saw Youssef consume an impressive amount of food in both Morocco and the United States.
Q: j’ai l’impression que tu pense à quelque chose, la quelle ?
A: I’m thinking about how almost everyone is sleeping right now and you are staying up with me to write this blog because you were too nice to say no. But, we are listening to decent music so it’s actually a nice night.
