SDLAP 110 Entry #5
Goal for the Week:
Learn 50 Vocab Words
Begin to learn Noun Cases
Result:
Learned ~50 Vocab Words
Learned two of seven noun cases (nominative and genitive)
Method:
For the next couple weeks, my language partner and I decided to meet three times per week for longer periods of time. This would give her more time to prepare lessons for noun cases, apparently the most challenging grammatical aspect of BCS. It should also allow me much needed time to review, practice, consolidate, and master the material I’ve learned. After noun cases, I’ll likely request a week of “midterm” exams where my partner will test me for a week on all the material we’ve covered so far before moving on to anything new. I think this midterm period will give me a perfect opportunity to complete a few artifacts and cultural postings as well.
I now officially have a Bosnian penpal! Though I have to use my dictionary extensively, my grammar is terrible, and letters are going to take a very long time to compose, I am very excited.
