Post (a) an evaluation of your First Artifact conversation, and (b) an assessment of how well you met your learning goals for weeks 4 and 5.
My first artifact was when I introduced myself with greetings and farewells. I thought I did ok, but I could definitely sense an American accent because I have not introduced myself in Czech for a long time. There are certain things that feel better when other people are speaking the same language and I think when I was introducing myself, I found myself speaking as though I was an American instead of a Czech person. I think this could hinder my growth because as I mentioned previously, I want to be able to shift my mindset when speaking a new language because it can help me be more authentic when spekaing the language. My learning goals for weeks 4 and 5 have been going well, I managed to converse with my friends from abroad and during my presentation for the CCE, I was able to present in Czech for a few sentences although it was sometimes hard to pronounce a couple of words. Overall, I think I am doing a good job with keeping up my learning journal.
