Learning Journal 8

Wow, my last learning partner meeting was HARD. I've been working on words for relationships, professions, work, and home activities. Put this all together and I should have the vocabulary to talk about my life a bit, right?

That's what I thought. So I asked Sofia to show me how to make sentences with these words. Eek! Sentence structure is simple enough, this I already had a rudimentary understanding of. However, now that I want to say, "I went to work" I have to grasp tenses and possessives. There are special verb endings depending on whether the subject is me, he/she, them, or us etc. It would be great if that were all. BUT no. Before the special verb ending there is also a random syllable that relates to nothing at all! It's different for each verb, and I simply have to memorize them all. Sigh.

I guess we'll see how I'm able to do that. No ideas so far for learning techniques. I'll try to employ the same ones I've been using for vocab and sentences.
