110 Week 9

[malory rodriguez]

This week has gone by a lot better, in regards to Swedish. I realized a main problem I have is that I get so nervous and I second guess myself way to much. There are a lot of instances in which if I just calm down and think really hard I know the word. But my first reaction is to normally just assume I don't know it and look it up on google translator. We spent Monday reviewing our tests we took and preparing a little for the midterm. Wednesday we formed sentences of what clothes we had on, the color, and what part of the body they were on. At the start of Wednesdays class Louise had Molly and I have a five minute conversation using all the vocabulary we have accumulated thus far. It was nerve racking but Louise said she was pretty proud of all the stuff we know. Maybe it's just self criticism but I didn't think I did THAT well. Using flashcards and repeatedly writing out a word is still continuing  to be one of the most effective ways I have been able to grap vocabulary. I think what I need to start doing is using more of them in context, so maybe having more text conversations with molly to help formulate sentences and learn new vocabulary from her responses.
