- Reflect on your experiences of (trying to) read and write in your target language.
As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, reading in Turkish is not a challenge for me because of being previously familiar with most of the sounds of the language. I have tried to read sentences and some short texts online. I also practiced reading while playing Monopoly and reading some of the cards. Writing in my target language is also easy, since the alphabet is very similar to the English alphabet. I write on my notecards and my notebook. I also type in Turkish when I need to write a message or translate a word. I enjoy the process of being able to read and somewhat understand words, expressions and texts. Writing is also essential in maintaining a good grammar, so I often take notes in my notebook. I prefer taking notes with a pen in a notebook, rather than a laptop, since writing helps me memorize the words and expressions better. I have also used many digital resources for reading and found those very helpful.
