111 Week 4

So I really need to get over this fear of speaking in Swedish. It's kind of bad. During one of or sessions this week Louise told us to have a conversation using the vocab we had just learned. It was not too hard to a task but I froze up. And then I forget words because I get so nervous. I think it is mainly because I know my pronunciation is awful, compared to Spanish where I always had real good pronunciation. I think what I need to start doing is making myself have a little conversation (with myself) every week and record it. That way I can practice more speaking and then get used to hearing myself speak Swedish and be able to critique it. We also took a quiz this week. As much as I hate quizzes it really does hold you accountable for what we learned. I am decent with the vocab its again just the sentence structure and grammar aspects I need to work on. Also word choice. A lot of times I will choose one word like ska but in reality it would be better or more correct to choose kommer. I am not quite sure how to figure out how to improve on that, but I guess I will have to look into it.
