Learning Journal 9

[Tania Bukach]

I just learnt my numbers! I can now count up to 19. Numbers are surprisingly similar to English. For instance, both 1 and 9 look the same. Of course, they are not said the same. Also, as in French, the "teens" are simple "# + 10."

I also learned about time. The clock is the same (unlike the calendar), with 12 hours. That is why I didn't stop at counting to ten! Sofia gave me some phrases related to time, like "When will you come to the university tomorrow?" with the reply "I will come at 7 o'clock." While writing this, I realize I don't know how am/pm works.

I am going to practice these as I have been my word lists, repetition of writing. I think I will also try converting my calendar into Persian numbers, as a practice exercise.
