Word Buddies
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a **real story**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **Cihan** and **Aylin** are living together in beautiful Berkeley.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> Cihan works at a high-tech company in San Francisco;
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> while Aylin goes to school at UC Berkeley for her Phd. degree in Law.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> Often times she comes across interesting English words at school which she wants to practice and learn.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> Since some of the words and terminology are used in both of their subjects, this would benefit them both.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was one little problem, though:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> There wasn't an easy way of sharing words with each other throughout the day,
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> other than sending whatsapp message or emails. Both of which, suck.
|
||||||
