SDLC 110 Bi-weekly Learning #1

[Daniel Matthew Kunath]

In the second and third week of the semester, Smaragda and I planned to exclusively work on accenting rules and grammar.  We broadened that focus to also include a large amount of vocabulary, to start putting the accenting into practice.  We laid out a table with the rules, and laid out a long list of words to apply accent marks to.  It seems to have worked well, since I can now see and hear words and know how to pronounce them.  Before, I used to consistently butcher words, but now, if I suspect that a word has a cognate, I can quickly figure out how to properly accent it.  This is useful, since the accenting can help me recognize cases and tenses in some words, and guide me in learning more.
