SDLC 110 Learning Journal # 10

[Sydney Freeman]

For our last class we reviewed parts of the face. I learned how to say eyes "guz" in Turkish as well as "dudak" for lips, "agiz" for mouth, "burun" for nose, "kulak" for ears, "yanak" for cheeks, and "kas" for eyebrows. And then we applied this vocabulary in a fun and interactive way by watching a music video by a famous Turkish pop star who reviewed some of these terms in his catchy song. We were then given a worksheet of his lyrics and had to fill in the missing vocabulary words by listening to his song. This was a great way to learn new vocabulary and also practice listening in Turkish to improve my comprehension of the language. I look forward to learning about the family next week, and I think it would also be great to learn vocabulary about the parts of the body to build on this lesson.
