Learning Journal 8

[Taylor Johnson]

This week, my goal was to learn how to talk about professions. In the corresponding chapter in my textbook, there was a list of professions that I wanted to learn. This will be an easy way for me to make conversation with people when I am living in Ukraine next year because it is common small talk. My exercise for learning this is to give someone a list of professions and ask them to make sentences from it. For example, if I wanted to make a short dialogue asking about  my friend Oleg's profession, I would say: -хто Олег за фахом? -Він журналіст. (who is Oleg by profession? He is a journalist). This could be the example for someone on a worksheet about asking about professions. I would give lots of different examples of professions and ask the student to create different dialogues.
