Bi-weekly language journal

[Felicitas G. Heinzel]

We are currently working on action items and on building sentences including the action we are taking, for example to work or to study. This, in addition to the things we have learned before, allows us to have short conversations with each other. We have also learned a lot of new vocabulary, including verbs, nouns, and descriptive words. I am hoping to be more confident in building sentences utilizing these words and structures by the end of the semester. Now that we only have two weeks left, I am really trying to learn as many new words as possible, so I can continue studying them after this semester is over. I have not tried any new learning strategies recently, but I feel confident in my learning and my skills have improved a lot. I just want to get in as many reps with my language partner as possible before the semester ends.

I feel like the pace of our class picked up significantly after the first three or four weeks. We went from learning really simple things like names to making complex sentences. It's been really hard for me to keep up, but you're doing really well!
