- How many new words have you learned in your target language? How did you learn them? Do you have realistic goals for your acquisition of vocabulary?
I have learnt several sets of basic vocabulary of several categories, such as school, time, greetings, and food topics. Gokhan has prepared textbook for us to study and each unit of the textbook focuses on a different topic. Gokhan would go over and explain each one to us first, and then we do some practices with the questions in the textbook. Gokhan has also made several lists on Quizlet for us to have more practice after classes. I believe that repetition is the most effective way to learn new words, so I go over them again and again for many times. I have realistic goals regarding the acquisition of vocabulary. As I first want to learn Turkish because I want to travel there, I would focus more on learning tourism, food and greeting vocabularies. By the end of the semester, I want myself to be able to order foods and tickets, and being able to have simple conversations with people.
