Most of the vocabulary was learned on my own and will need to be drilled with my language partner next week. This last week’s session was focused on recognizing and speaking in the past and future tenses. We also went over commands. Next week’s sessions will drill these skills, build vocabulary, and begin noun cases!
I’ve decided to try and start memorizing songs for fun in large part because Jamaica and Dr. Grove have shown such enthusiasm towards music as language-learning medium. Though I was skeptical at first, it’s been quite fun!
The movie was a dark, satirical comedy. I had trouble with remembering “house”, but the movie said that, and dropped the f-bombs so many times that I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. The movie got me thinking a lot about how misunderstood, yet good-willed and humorous the Bosnian people are despite their heavy trials, tribulations, limited resources, and really unfortunate turn of events they’ve been through. They seek to present themselves and their people in the best possible light.
