- Learning Journal 6: State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
a) My learning goals this week were to complete tasks within Task 2: Family Information. More specifically, My goals were to complete the family tree, introduction to family members, and give and ask information about family. Moreover, I began to go more in-depth by beginning to describe family relations, how to negate a nominal, and how to ask where someone is. Lastly, I started written grammar which included possessive pronouns and progressive form.
For cultural tasks, I learned about the use of kin terms used to address and refer to family members and describing physical characteristics -- how people describe others and what is culturally acceptable.
b) I accomplished these goals using two sources: Let's Learn Indonesian (from the global studio center) chapter 2 "Family and Friends" and unit 3 from Indonesia's Ministry of Culture and Education titled "My Family." Plus, I met with my language learning partner for two hours over the course of this week. This week, I worked on my reading comprehension skills, my listening skills, and my speaking skills from activities in both of these sources. I finished learning how to make a family tree and identify my family in terms of familial associations. In addition, I accomplished introducing my self and my family members to others. I practiced how to solicit such information as well. I also started to learn Indonesian grammar. More specifically, the possessive pronoun and progressive form. For culture, I have been reading about more immediate cultural characteristics such as familial hierarchy and basic physical characteristics as well as more elevated "cultural" circumstances such as contemporary Indonesian geopolitics.
