Learning Journal #8

[Hadi Abdullah]

Over the course of the semester, I have acquired great knowledge of the Siraiki language. When it comes down to the number of words, I have learnt more than 80. These words were not chose randomly. There was a lot of thought given into deciding the words I should learn. The words I learnt are ones that are most commonly used in the Siraiki language. I wrote them down on a piece of paper and asked my Language Partner to translate them. Next, I went through the arduous process of memorizing each and every single word in the list. Now, I can make out a conversation in Siraiki. Based on what I have accomplished so far, I feel that my goals for the language are realistic. Because I was able to accomplish the tasks that I intended to in the given time successfully, I feel that I will be able to reach my goals for the language.
