Journal Entry 11
This week is focusing a lot on review as 3 of the last 4 weeks Mahshad and I were unable to meet and go over grammar and speak. I have been primarily working from the textbook, but have spent significantly more time with online dictionaries memorizing vocabulary and conjugating words.
Culture Post 7
Persian culture is very communal and frequently extended families will live together or near one another. Families are oriented somewhat similarly to a “traditional” nuclear American family; children are raised primarily by the mother while the father works, and extended family and friends all pitch in to take care of children. Family is very important as a value in Persian culture (as it is in most cultures) and the distinction between “private” and “family” space is very, very weak unlike general American culture.
