SDLC 105 Learning Journal 3

[Rosa M. Colon]

Prior to learning the structure of the Turkish language, it is important to know some vocabulary, pronunciation of letters, vowel harmony, and pronouns.  Fortunately, Turkish does not have gender specific rules which makes the language a bit simpler to grasp.  In order to acquire the knowledge necessary to understand the structure of Turkish, I will use applications such as Duolingo, Babbel, and Mango to practice my vocabulary.  Additionally, I will used the vocabulary I know to begin forming sentences.  In this way, I can both visually and audibly note the way in which sentences are structured.  With practice through classes with my learning partner and relevant worksheets, I will be able to notice patterns and apply those new concepts to constructing more sentences.  I believe that a reference grammar could be helpful because it would provide me with something to look at when I might be struggling and also offer explanations for rules that might not be self-explanatory on their own.
