Honestly, this week has probably been the least productive for me thus far. I have been sick for the past few days, so I have not been able to spend as much time practicing Hebrew as I would have liked. However, for this week we were supposed to have read pages 96-158 in Crystal’s book. While I am trying very hard to get into the book and to learn from it and from everything the author talks about, I still cannot seem to motivate myself to at least try to enjoy the readings. Overall, I have not found the book to be very helpful, but hopefully, this will eventually change; I am trying to stay optimistic J
As for my progress, like I mentioned before, I have not been feeling well at all this week, so my progress has been minimal. I am still using the BYKI to help with my vocabulary, but I am in the process of trying to find other ways to learn Hebrew vocab. While I love the BYKI and think it is very useful, I want to experience other types of tools and familiarize myself with multiple ways of learning Hebrew. Also, I still do not have a language partner to help with learning Hebrew. Despite the fact that I am trying, on my own, to learn Hebrew as best as possible, I feel like I would be much better off if I had someone who knew Hebrew and was actually able to guide me through everything. Coming into this course I knew that it was self-taught and that I would have to do a majority of the work on my own, but after hearing that I would be getting a language partner I was much more relieved, knowing that since I had no idea about the Hebrew language, at least someone would be there to help me. But, I can say that I am making the best of it and am doing what I can to learn as much Hebrew as possible. I knew from the beginning that I would not walk away from this class fluent in Hebrew, so all I can do is the best I can J .
I have not made my voki yet because I was unable to go to class because I was not feeling well. However, I talked to one of my classmates and he said that he actually had a lot of fun making it, although he is not sure what he is supposed to do with it. I am looking forward to making one though!
