Learning Journal 8

[Maddie Philips]

I really couldn't say how many new words I have learned, but the vast majority of them have been to do with grammar rather than actual vocabulary. That said, I've learned to count to 100, can list all of the colors of the rainbow, and can talk about my family too. I've written down a lot of vocabulary words, but it is still taking me a lot of time to learn all of them. I'm hoping that my Culture Project can help me with this, because as Basque surnames always mean a certain place, there are a lot of good vocabulary words within them. The words I did learn, I learnt through a lot of repetition, and quizzing on the part of Amaia. I think that I have met my goals for the most part, but there is definitely still a lot of vocabulary I want to learn. That said, I am glad that I got a lot of grammatical rules out of the way, because knowing those, I can continue learning vocabulary by myself next semester and be able to move on. I would say that I still have goals to continue increasing my vocabulary more than my grammar, and be able to know a lot more adjectives and nouns, which I think is definitely a reachable goal.
