105 Reflection 7:
My language learning experience has been good. We have now gotten to the point of creating complete sentences. I have been focusing more on the Ge’ez to English and vice versa with less involvement of Amharic than I initially expected. Especially during this past month, I have been heavily focusing on Ge’ez translations and exposure through youtube videos, scriptures and Church services. The relationship between Ge’ez and Church culture is really inextricable because the way that the language is staying alive is through liturgical and historical texts on the Church.
Now that I have the tools to make sentences, I want to take a functional approach (225) and learn the listed aspects of language. Grammatical competence is what I have covered so far; morphology, syntax, phonology.
I have definitely made use of the classroom conversations we’ve had these past couple of weeks. They have made me think about my language learning with a wider view in terms of research.
