SDLC 110 Journal 3: teach a class

[Jensen Parr]

I have designed a class for my partner on some occasions, one was a transcript that I had copied down in transliteration from the babel.richmond.edu website where I didn't know the words.  we looked at the context because some words were family words and vocab that we had previously knew.  Its from my artifact!  In the story the woman tells the man how many brothers she has and how many are in school and what they study.  It was hard to understand initially because all I understood was the family names like baradar-e (brother) and school (dabestan).  My partner helped me separate the words because I thought that many words were bigger and it was actually two words.  There was also words pertaining to the difficulty of the courses taken.  I think many words were new to me because of the book we use that I am not used to listening to words.  My partner helped with the little connecting words since I don't normally connect words and we hadn't gotten to forming sentences yet with Mirwais and Malory.  These were complex sentences and I had to pronounce them different ways because of the transliteration, but my partner knew eventually what the sentences meant, even if it was in Iranian dialect.
