Simple Conversations 1
This week we are not doing merely memorizing stuff. Our language partner Gohkan started the class by greeting us in Turkish. “Merhaba, Nasilsin? ”, Which means “Hello, how are you doing.”. This week’s task for us is to learn the basic greeting conversations. My objection is to learn them well to a level that I can conduct a simple greeting conversations. Gohkan told us greeting is a very important topic to cover because in Turkey, people take greetings very serious. He told us when if a person who’s gonna be late for his work saw someone he knows in the street. He would choose to stop and greet him/her, otherwise he would be considered very arrogant. We began learning greetings by first read through the basic sentences. “Benim adim Adam, senin adin ne? ” It means “My name is Adam, what is your name.” After we are familiar with how to pronounce the sentences. Gokhan asked us to practice. So Joyce and I practiced the greetings with Gokhan respectively. I think this strategy is especially useful. Because as for the last two classes, basically what we did is to merely memorize stuff. This practice provides us more interaction. Thus we are able to actively learn the knowledge instead of passively receiving all of the contents.
