I don't have a set number of words counted out in terms of how much I have learned. However, I plan on learning based on different situations and scenarios I want to cover this semester. This semester, my goal is to learn reading and writing to a level of which I can decipher sentences at a basic level. My plan is to walk away after graduation with a stronger grasp on speaking. Reading skills are something I can develop on my own; however, the actual opportunity to learn how to speak from a native speaker is something that I believe I should focus on.
As said before, my goals are to cover a specific set of scenarios. Some include: ordering food, giving directions, greetings and introductions, addressing elders, discussing hobbies.
I plan to approach learning these words by learning a set of sentences and vocabulary words that fit my personal preferences. Then I will put the words together in dialogues. I found that insofar in my studies, it is easier to learn words in a dialogue so that I can associate the words to a scenario and specific memory.
