Journal 6

I have started to read a few articles in Indonesian.  I have mainly looked at newspaper articles.  Some of the vocabulary I am not familiar with, so I have been using an online dictionary.  In order to help my comprehension, I first read through the articles out loud, focusing on my pronunciation.  I then read through the text and scan for words that I easily know.  I do this to try and infer the meaning of the article.  After I have done this, I start to break the article down and look up words that I do not know.  This has helped me expand my vocabulary to words outside of a friendly conversation.  I have learned vocabulary that is common in business, politics, and culture.
