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.
I know that I haven’t progressed as far into my learning plan as I had anticipated when I was initially writing the plan. Because it has been a long time since I have studied as a complete novice, I think I had forgotten how difficult it is to get down the basics. The basics are the critical foundation for language learning, so I’ve had to work carefully and slowly up until this point. I will need to reassess my learning plan and make appropriate adjustments to fit the pace I’m at now. I still believe that most of my goals are achievable but I will need to shift some into the second half of the semester.
For the rest of the semester, I will focus on building up more vocabulary. I’ve learned some basic grammatical structures, so learning more vocabulary and common phrases would allow me to communicate more information through the grammar I have already learned. Of course, I also want to increase my understanding of more complex grammar, but I don’t know how much I can learn well by the end of the semester.
