One-on-one talmud study is a fantastic experience (at least with the right person, which I have).

But it's not *really* talmud study unless you get into arguments where you disagree vehemently (although, of course, with respect) about stuff. That's the fun part! (Or so I've heard...)

Hey, it was our first session. Give us time. :-) (I could tell that I asked some questions he hadn't anticipated, though. That's a start, right?)

Sure, it is a start. I think that the whole point of studying with someone is to have someone point out a different interpretation. It's important to have someone you can reflect off of. (Wave without a Shore, by C.J. Cherryh, is a rather interesting SF book about the last point.)
