MLC 110: Learning Activity

[Pamir Niaz]

Aside from immersion, I find that visual learning is often very helpful when learning or trying to understand something in language that you do not know fluently. The basis of my learning activity is to show pictures of several things (a dog, a watch, and a car), giving the pronunciation of each thing, and how to write each out. I feel this activity is particularly useful for those already learning the language, but it still can be used by someone who has never spoken Dari. However, the part of this activity that requires writing each word also requires an individual to understand the alphabet:

Sag (Dog)

Use the following letters:

س

گ

Now combine them:

سگ

Watch (Saat)

Use the following letters:

س

ا

ت

Now combine them:

سات

Car (Motar)

Use the following letters:

م

و

ت

ر

Now combine them:

موتر
