Goal of the week: conjugate new verbs
Since I have mastered new verbs, I wanted to learn to conjugate some and begin to use them in conversation with a Gujarati friend of mine (who is not my language partner) on campus. My language partners and I met twice this week to go over conjugations. I included pictures because they have been such a large part of my learning experience. Whenever I make notecards, I have a picture on one side, and the conjugated verbs on the other. That is how I learn the language. Much like children learn a language directly from associated images of their environment around them as toddlers. I don't want to get bogged down in English-Gujarati translation so this is the most efficient method for me.
