SDLC 105: Learning Journal 4

[Tenaya Bien]

I really enjoyed all of the cultural presentations done by my classmates! I thought it was really interesting to see which aspects of the target culture people chose to focus on and how that reflected their own interest in learning the language. One of my favorite presentations was about the practice of wearing beanies in the Czech Republic. What I liked most about this presentation was that it showed an aspect of Czech culture that you could only learn by living there. I am really interested in little cultural peculiarities like this because I think they show a deeper understanding of culture rather than just knowledge of a cultural practice.
