110 Week 10

[malory rodriguez]

On monday we had our midterm. It took a lot of studying and preparation but was kind of an interesting format I thought. We had about ten sections that we have covered. So on each page there were about 10 words we had to translate into Swedish and then bellow that we would have to write a paragraph in regards to the topic (weather, transportation, etc). I am not quite sure how I did on it but it was cool to able to see that even if my paragraph isn't the most grammatically correct, that I knew enough in Swedish to write a paragraph. For the rest of the week we are focusing on reading the Adventures of Tin Tin or in Swedish Tintins Äventyr. This is going to be challenging because there will be a lot of slang and new vocabulary we have not covered yet. What I have done so far is when I read the book I have google translator open. When I am unsure of what a word is I write it down and google the translation. When translator doesn't have the word I write the word on the side to ask Lousie what it means later. This is for sure a challenge but I think it is a new and fun technique to continue learning more vocabulary.
