Artifact 1. Speaking practice-dialogue

Turkish.m4a

For my first artifact, I recorded myself speaking about myself as well as asking questions to a second person. English translations of some of the things I said or asked are below. I enjoyed speaking in Turkish. I do not seem to have issues with my accent as I am familiar with the sounds of the language due to my previous linguistic experiences. I think for this semester, I will aim to be able to sustain longer dialogues with native speakers and be able to ask more questions, especially if I am ordering in restaurants or doing shopping elsewhere. I enjoyed this experience, as I combined what I knew from last semester and used tenses and what I've learnt these past 3 weeks. 

Some examples:

Good afternoon. My name is Manya. what is your name? Nice to meet you.
I'm nineteen, how old are you?
Where are you from? Where do you live? .....
I also work as an assistant in post office. It is an interesting job. What do you do in your free time? How many languages do you speak? ...


-oh that is great. I did not know you speak Italian....Have you been to Italy?
-Wonderful. It was nice meeting you. I hope to see you soon in Istanbul...
