Learning Journal #11 (110)

[Zachary Stewart]

 The time has come! I have been very impatient with this and have been getting sneak peaks of this in the Turkish podcast that I found. My goal for this week was to learn the past tense!!! I want to be able to make as many sentences as possible and I don’t want time to be one of the things that is going to hinder my goal. I scheduled an extra meeting with Gökhan in which we loosely went over all of the conjugations. I think Gökhan was nervous to cover everything at once and overwhelming me. Interestingly however, I did not have a hard time getting used to the conjugations as we were covering it. I think that I am not as phased by them because I have seen so many different conjugations from Spanish to Portuguese to Italian to French and to Catalan. This isn’t my first rodeo. I think the examples that we covered during the lesson were very useful and make it easier for me to remember. I am goıng to keep practicing the tense!
