Mid Way reflection

[David R. Stevens]

I feel like how Emily and I are working on Hebrew is really helping me and I am improving a lot.  I feel much more fluent in my reading.  There is still a lot of vocabulary that I do not know.   This is evident when I try to have conversations with Emily.   There will be many times in our conversations that I will slow down, stop, think and then start talking.  She will immediately correct me.  Because of my limited vocabulary I need to be innovative with my words and find a way around what I am trying to say instead of outright using vocabulary I do not know.   Emily and I are working on this, I still find it difficult to remember vocabulary that she has told me during the day.    We are working through this by writing down some vocabulary that I do not know.  However, this is impeding the flow of our conversations.   We are still working on ways around this.
