My Summary of MLC 105

[Roman Abdul Satar]

In my life I have been exposed to various different cultures and I experienced them and had the opportunity of interacting with the native people of that culture.Now when I wanted to learn Farsi, the MLC 105 has changed my way of view the languages. Since I am myself from Afghanistan Persian culture is very similar to mine , if not identical. However, I still discovered things that I have never thought about like the opinions of people on the public show of affections, how different cultures are related or about the existence and examples of some slangs.

In the MLC 105, I did not just learn and understand about the culture of the language that I was learning but also the two other languages that other students were studying. This was very fun and enjoyable of sharing different elements of cultures that each of us learned. The reading that we were assigned also made me think how much the world talks and discusses about the different subjects and issues of the various cultures.

At the end of this course, I am able to look at the different cultures, explore the unique tradition, national clothe or even their food and think how these factors shape the culture as a whole.

This course also helped me to see that I am able to do self direct studying and I can follow the daily practices, learning about new culture and get better in writing and reading Farsi. I am able to plan the different tasks and actually to go trough with them and finish them. I have had a great experience and learned many different ways of understanding the culture and learning its language.
