  1. What exactly do you want to learn about the person? How do you plan on befriending the person? What aspects of history do you hope to learn?

  2. What are you going to learn about the person? I really like your second objective, it's a good one to have and will make your interview more interesting.

  3. Please check your spelling. Here are my questions:
    1. Learn more about the person.
    How? How did you prepare understanding them?
    2. Find out somethings that no one else would know.
    Why? At present, you know nothing about that person. Why reveal secrets, rather than readily accessible information?
    3. Learn where about where they come from.
    ???
    4. Befriend them
    Not a good idea without the needed context, I'm afraid.
    5. Learn some history of their culture.
    Good idea. Please redo the first four, Chris, and add some beef.
    cheers

  4. Good work, Chris. Regardless of number 2, I don't think that will work. Because they we will want to know about you, too so that they can tell you something.

  5. I think you could do more with your objectives by getting meaningful answers. You could try to find out what background do they have, for instance by comparing their daily routine back home to your routine here in America. Also, you could ask them what part of American culture do they like? Is it the festivals, or is it the thinking perspective which is supposed to be open-minded.

  9. I would make sure you have already information about the culture of the person you are interviewing before you ask him questions.

  11. your objectives should be more detailed and specific, like how you're going to prepare, what you expect to learn through the process.

  12. I want to hear more about NO.2 because I'm curious! :D But your objectives seem too broad to me. I want to know more details! Good luck!

  13. Your objectives seem to be heading in the right direction, but you may want to expand on them and include details on your preparation for the interview.
