This week's reading gave me a greater appreciation for just how complex learning a different language is. Knowing that a language is not just made up of words makes a huge difference. The words within a language have meaning and understanding that meaning is important. I thought it was interesting to know that different languages have different words that are used when referring to either your maternal or paternal side of the family.
Knowing that a language that be very complex, I intend to use the resources that are available to me not only to learn the words of my language, but also to learn the meanings behind those words. To do this I will work with my language partner to gain a better understanding of the meanings. I will also use Rosetta Stone to help with vocabulary and in pronunciation of the words.
