I would say that the first week was pretty successful! I was waiting for the semester to start, because I was hoping there would be an exchange student from Barcelona willing to partner up with me for my SDLC110 in Catalan. Thanks to a classmate’s help, I found a language partner and had him introduced to Dr. Soloway, so now we are just waiting on the bureaucracy part to be over with before we can start the weekly meetings.
Besides looking for a language partner, I explored some of the Catalan resources from SDLAP Wiki and did some independent research, I even found a Netflix series that is in Catalan!
I am curious as to how we will be sharing our learning experiences in 105, considering the broad range of languages the students are interested in. I am also looking forward to learning more about linguistics in general, since “languages” are not really one of my fortes – Surprise, surprise! Hahaha, I already had this impression and on the "multiple intelligences" assessment I took for this class, my language score was just average.
