SDLAP learning plan

[Maya Marino]

My learning plan so far has been really working for me. I have been meeting with the same teacher on Italki.com named Estevam. He is a polyglot and speaks pretty much all of the romance languages. Due to this he is an expert on the "rules" of romance languages and how to convert/translate words from one language to another. He has been teaching me these rules which make everything so much less complicated. We will take a spanish word and apply the catalan rules to it, so for example, tiene means he has in spanish; but in catalan you convert the "ie" to an "e" and also not words in catalan end with an "N" so the catalan word for he has is te. My peer tutor has been sick so we have not been able to meet yet unfortunately. Other than that, I am starting to learn some grammar, frequently used verbs, irregular verbs, and expressions. My classmates gave me some ideas based off of their learning plans; Parisa set goals in which she wants to achieve. For example, she wants to order at a restaurant in their native language; I think that would be super cool.
