Goal for the week:
Finish Noun Cases
Learn a number of vocabulary words
Result:
Done with Noun Cases!
Learned a few vocabulary words
Method:
Practicing grammar and thinking about grammar is not very fun. I realize that I need to lighten up and have more fun learning this language so that I’ll spend more time not only learning, but enjoying myself. I have found that this last week was the least fun, and the least productive. As a person whose productivity and ambition is strongly correlated to my feelings about the material, I have just realized the importance of fun to balance my seriousness. A professor has given me an elementary Croatain book and accompanying DVD with dialogues and classical music. They are fantastic. The recordings are of native speakers who speak very quickly.
I was light on the vocabulary this week, but would write down and look up random words I thought might be useful to know.
