In preparation for artifact 2:
Goals:
- have both number systems written down
- say the number systems in a clear tone and slowly
- know when to use each system
- Can say the words
- For this artifact I'm more focused on the speaking aspect
Tasks:
- Write down the number systems
- Have Alvin tell me what the difference is between the 2 systems
- Recognize the distinctions between the 2 by comparing the 2 systems together
- Practice saying the words a loud and then practice saying it in front of friends
- Practice writing down the numbers
- Get my pronunciation right
Evaluation of Success
- first off how the words are pronounced must be accurate or at least sound close to it
- Then I need to see whether I am able to recognize the phrases characters
- Can recognize the difference.
- Ask friends to listen to the recording and be critical about any mistakes that I may have
After having done artifact 2:
This recording is one after several attempts were made. In previous recordings, I had trouble with my pronunciation of 7 - 9 in casual system. But after a few more tries I kind of got it right. The rest of the numbers I pronounced accurately. Since both systems don't require formality, it's easier to learn. For this artifact I didn't apply it to a particular thing, so it didn't need to be appropriate in a particular context. I did write both systems down. In the recording, I probably should have paused in between systems to make it easier for a listener to distinguish. I can say the words for sure. My pronunciation isn't exactly perfect. Even today I still have trouble saying two certain sounds. But with more practice, I'm sure I'll get it to be excellent.
