Although I have already made this post elsewhere just to make it easier to find my learning plan and goals I will make a separate and individual blog. The main goals I want to accomplish as a novice learner are:
Greetings / Farewells (formal/informal, for different times of day, etc.)
Introducing yourself (your name, where you are from, what you are studying, something interesting about yourself)
--Eliciting this information from others
Identifying and talking about family members (names, relationships, professions, something interesting)
--Eliciting this information from others
Telling time / asking the time
Asking / saying the date
In addition to these goals JT and I established with our language partner we wanted to learn to talk about sports, weather, and be able to ask for directions.
The primary way we plan on reaching these goals is meeting with our partner to reach one goal a week. During this meeting we write down and speak every word that we note as very important to learn. Then after meeting with Maya, JT and I try our Hebrew out on each other over the course of the week. Since we are roommates it is easy to practice our Hebrew on each other. So far we have been successful in reaching our goals.
