This week went decently well for learning purposes. We just had a quiz earlier today that covered the basics of what we have been talking about (alphabet, numbers, colors, and a few animals and basic phrases). For me remembering the word and how to spell it, really isn't that hard at all it more of the pronunciation and that is where Louise really comes in handy. So my strategies are basically to memorize the word and how to spell it, then with Louise and Molly just try to verbally repeat it or make up little rhymes in which I can get it down. I think that strategy will be the most effective for myself. Next week we plan on introducing a little bit of grammar so that we are able to speak more and also family members and potentially body parts. I also have a friend at another University taking basic Swedish, so we plan to look over his tests and work and try to incorporate some of those ideas into our class.
