Later this week I focused on combining all of the skills I have learned for the past week and a half. I practiced writing questions and answering them, as well as reading passages from the Turkish workbook and answering the questions. I learned new vocabulary for objects around the house (furniture in the bedroom, kitchen, etc.), colors, and some numbers to expand my ability to describe places.
I also started one of the Turkish dramas my friend recommended on Netflix (Winter Sun) using the Chrome Netflix Multi-Subtitle extension so that I can read in Turkish and English. I've watched a Turkish movie with English subtitles before knowing any Turkish, but now that I know some of the language, it's exciting when I recognize a familiar word, phrase, or even suffix.
This weekend I hope to get around to rewriting some of my Turkish notes/compiling all of the vocabulary I've learned into a notebook. In the past, rewriting my notes has helped me a lot in retaining information.
