Converse
Definition: to keep company; to commune
I would like to converse with Bobby Flay and learn some of his recipes.
Reverse: the opposite or contrary of something
To drive backward, put the gear in a reverse mode.
Diverse - showing a great deal of variety
The populations is culturally diverse.
Very nice!
But, Daryl, note the subject-verb agreement error in your sentence. You probably wanted to say "The population is culturally diverse."
