Simple Conversations 2
This class we continued to learn about daily and simple conversations. We touched on self-introduction. And my goal is to be able to introduce myself and write a self-introduction paragraph. The strategy we used is similar to what we’ve been using for the previous classes. First Gokhan read us through the sentences. “Benim adim Adam, Senin adin ne?”, it means “My name is Adam, what is your name”. “Nerelisin? ” “Cinliyim” This means “Where are you from?” And “I am from China”. After a few times of reading the text, we were familiar with the pronunciations of each sentences. Then Gokhan asked us to practice with him, in the form of dialogues. To be honest it was kind of hard to do without the text. It was hard to memorize each sentences. But Gokhan kept giving us hints and encourages us to continue. After few rounds of dialogues practices. Gohkan asked me to do with Joyce. And it turned out well. Then as the last step, he asked us to write down the self-introduction is short paragraph. It was easy because all we do is to translate the dialogues which we are already familiar with, into written text. I really like how the class was taught, because it was not barely memorizing, rather, it consists of reading, spelling, listening and writing. It is a really good combination of work. Besides, this really increased my confidence, because in the beginning of the semester, I thought it would be extremely hard to do a self-introduction, but now I can.
