The learning task for this week was to discuss my home. This week we integrated both vocabulary and the cultural aspects associated with this topic into our lessons this week. We discussed the names for different types of furniture and kitchen items that I did not know. The words listed below would be pronounced in English by me before. We also worked on translating the relationships with different family members. We discussed how the names of certain family members change when it is on the mother’s side in comparison to the father.
