Learning Journal #8

[Aisha Farooq]

This week we learned how to tell time. We first learned how to count to 1-60 so I was familiar with all the minutes in Urdu.  I practiced saying the time with all twelve hours changing the minute.  We discussed how you can also say it is noon, midnight, dawn, and evening when asked. Zaka also recommended a video that shows how to tell if it is a quarter past a certain hour or half past an hour. We discussed how the system of differentiating the morning and evening in Urdu like we add A.M. and P.M. to time.  We also did an exercise where the time was written down in English and I had to verbally translate it in Urdu.  We discussed how after this week, I should regularly ask for the time and also be prepared to tell the time when asked during our tutoring sessions.
