- State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
My this week's goals included learning all the family vocabulary and be able to make sentences about my family members as well as ask relevant questions. I used quizlet to memorize the family words, as well as some of my other online resources. Turkish family vocabulary is more complicated than the English one, as it has separate words for uncles, aunts from mother's or father's side, elder or younger siblings etc. We used my language partner's family tree as an example to create sentences and identify the siblings, parents and other relatives. We made a number of sentences as well as practiced sentences about our own families. We tried to incorporate some hobbies, professions as well when speaking about our family members. We did practice speaking skills with a native Turkish speaker studying at the University and it was a fun session of asking questions and learning new words. I also tried to make some sentences expressing what I need or what I want. I think this week was helpful in terms of vocabulary, speaking, listening conjugations, use of suffixes when creating sentences etc.
