Learning Journal #4

[Stephen Huffnagle]

I really enjoyed the presentations last week. It was interesting to see what everyone decided to focus on in their language, and I liked how some people talked about general things, like Omar talking about food culture in Israel, while others talked about more specific topics like the makeup industry, Korean dramas, and Pakistani fairy tales. I think that finding something you find interesting about a culture is the most important step to motivating yourself to learn a language, so researching for the presentation has been very helpful.
