This week was great for exploring resources and settling in on ideas of what topics I would like to focus my independent study on.
I have bookmarked a number of sources in the following categories:
* news sites
* modern Israeli slang
* university websites and journal sources
* vocabulary builders
* political cartoon site
Reading through some of the articles has given me insight that I will need to work on vocabulary at a more advanced and subject specific level in order to understand the political topics that I am interested in.
Now that Sharon and I have met to discuss a learning plan, I look forward to combining my political interests with a more casual gauge of the modern Israeli language by reading a contemporary author's novel, writing about, and gaining some of the vocabulary that I have lost since leaving Israel in the 6th grade.
