- State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
A part of interactive activities that we did this week included playing monopoly and learning vocabulary that was useful . We learnt how to say who something belongs to, did some reading practice when reading the cards, counted and used Turkish numbers throughout the whole game when rolling a dice. From the cultural aspect of the things we learnt about several neighborhoods of Istanbul, the biggest city of Turkey. We looked up pictures and asked questions to our language partner.
I tried to memorize some weather vocabulary myself as well as revise how to introduce myself and my family.
Besides, we watched a high ranked Turkish movie Babam ve Oglum- My father and my son. It was about a "family of a left-wing journalist is torn apart after a military coup in 1980's Turkey." This movie gave a good insight about the 1980 coup in Turkey as well as family relations. I think it was a great cultural practice. We planned to watch another movie later on. I have, meanwhile, been watching the TV series "Kara Sevda" in Turkish with Russian subtitles. Continuously hearing Turkish language helps me improve my listening skills.
