Learning Journal #7

Learning Journal 7:  Reflect upon your progress to date, consider the effectiveness of your learning plan and activities, and discuss what changes--if any--you will make to finish the semester.

My progress at this point, in consideration of my learning plan and activities, has fluctuating. One day, I will be having a great conversation in Czech with my friend from abroad, but another day, I will be hard-pressed to find a situation where I can use my Czech. I think one of the biggest struggles of learning a new language is having no environment to practice. I tried my best to try and find people to speak with, but it has been difficult to try and find an appropriate time to focus simply on the language. I think one of the things that I would have changed would have been having a language partner, or being more active about reserving a time to speak with another person. I have skyped and face timed with my abroad friends, but during that time we barely used any Czech because they wanted to practice their English. Overall, I think the fluctuation could have been minimized.
